Since then, that single has become one of the most iconic tunes in the house scene, with countless artists spinning it in their sets and twisting the track in their own way.
While “Show Me Love” might be her biggest hit, there are plenty of other releases from Robin S that have also won over the hearts of her fans, like “Love For Love” and “Back To You” with Gabriel & Castellon. Don’t miss her live set at the festival; she’s sure to put on a show-stopping performance!
