“My son called me, and he’s like, ‘Mom, Mom. You’re trending all over the place,” she explained to Good Morning Britain. “You know, Beyoncé put her song out, and it’s ‘Show Me Love,’ and you’re trending everywhere.’”
Queen Bey’s song is a taste of what’s to come in her upcoming album Renaissance and gives a nod to house music. Following the release, the ’90s singer said she gained more fans and overwhelming support.
TMZ reported that Robin S. had been offered numerous business opportunities, receiving calls from record labels, well-known DJs and ad agencies, proving that the Beyoncé effect is real.
While the “Show Me Love” singer didn’t know that Beyoncé was using her track for “Break My Soul,” she did say that confirmation wasn’t needed to recognize her song.
“It doesn’t have to be confirmed. A singer knows her songs,” she told the outlet.
Robin S. shared her gratitude and even had a personal message for Queen Bey.
“This is Robin S., and this message goes out to the Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and the entire team,” she said. “Thank you so much for giving me my flowers while I’m still alive. I am honored, and I’m excited to see what else can happen.”
While many people enjoyed “Break My Soul” and hoped the two would unite for a duet, others were disappointed that she didn’t credit the singer. Fans stuck up for the “Halo” singer saying she credited the creators of “Show Me Love” since she used to track and not Robin S.’s vocals.
Picture Beyoncé preforming break my soul at the bet awards and she brings on robin s to perform with her 😭😭😭

I actually hate that her flowers weren’t put in her hand versus left on the doorstep. Why did no one find this lady and tell her they were revamping her ICONIC song? Show Me Love IS that girl!!!https://t.co/gbquLyORVk

Beyoncé always credits the writers of the song she samples. Fred McFarlane and Allen George wrote Show Me Love by Robin S in 1990! 😭 She’s sampling Show Me Love. pic.twitter.com/EULIBKoYvr
