Robin S. debuted with the Top Ten Pop / #1 Dance hit "Show Me Love." The Queens, New York native was signed by Big Beat Records in 1993, and debut single climbed the charts the same year, as did her first album, also titled Show Me Love.

Released in 1997 on Atlantic Records, From Now On reflected broader interests for Robin S., encompassing gospel and ballads in addition to hi-NRG dancefloor material.
