(born Robin Stone on April 27, 1962) is a singer-songwriter from Queens, New York who scored success in the 1990s with such hit singles as "Show Me Love" (which was her debut single and a #1 Club hit) and "Luv 4 Luv."

A house diva whose productions use live instrumentation just as much as electronics, Robin S. debuted with the Top Ten hit "Show Me Love." The Queens, NY native was signed by Big Beat Records in 1993, and debuted with the hot single, which climbed the charts during 1994, and spurred her first album, also titled Show Me Love.

After working on her songwriting for several years, she began recruiting producers such as Eric "E-Smoove" Miller and Todd Terry to work on her second album. Released in 1997 on Atlantic, From Now On reflected broader interests for Robin S., encompassing gospel and ballads in addition to hi-NRG dancefloor material. The album spawned one successful single on the dance charts: "It Must Be Love."

水面が揺らぐ suimen ga yuragu
風のは輪が広がる kaze no wa ga hirogaru
触れあった指先の fure atta yubisaki no
青い電流 aoi denryuu

見つめあうだけで mitsumeau dake de
孤独な加速度が kodoku na kasokudo ga
一瞬に砕け散る isshun ni kudakechiru

あなたが好きよ anata ga suki yo

透明な真珠のように toumei na shinju no you ni
中の浮く涙 chuu no uku namida
悲劇だってかまわない higeki datte kamawanai
あなたと生きたい anata to ikitai

キラッ Kira 流星にまたがって ryuusei ni matagatte
あなたに急降下 ah ah anata ni kyuukouka-a-a
濃紺の星空に noukon no hoshizora ni
私たち花火見たい watashitachi hanabi mitai

会話などなしに kaiwa nado nashi ni
内側に潜って uchigawa ni mogutte
考えが読み取れる kangae ga yomitoeru
不思議な夜 fushigi na yoru

あなたの名呪文見たいに anata no na jumon mitai ni
無限のリピート mugen no ripiito
憎らしくて手の甲に nikurashikute te no kou ni
爪をたててみる tsume wo tatete miru

キラッ kira 体ごと透き通り karada goto sukitoori
