Robbie Love is a relatively new voice to soul music fans, but her connection with the genre goes way back. The daughter of soul and gospel singer Mary Love Comer, Robbie grew up in a Los Angeles music family where R&B history was not just on the radio but in the room. Her extended circle included figures such as Dennis Edwards of The Temptations, Charles Wright of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, Willie Hutch, and Lamont McLemore of The 5th Dimension, giving her a childhood steeped in the culture of classic soul.
SoulTracks introduced Love’s artistry to our readers in 2024 when we featured “24/7” – an upbeat jam that displayed Love’s soulful stylings. She brings a polished, adult R&B sensibility to songs that nod to the past without sounding trapped there. “24/7” has the warmth of old-school soul, but its groove and production place it firmly in today’s independent soul lane.
Her profile grew further with “Take My Love,” a collaboration with Julian Jonah that SoulTracks spotlighted in 2026, again emphasizing that Love had been around recording studios practically since birth. Alongside “24/7” and her other single releases, it places Robbie Love among our favorite indie independent soul artists, drawing listeners back to melody, musicianship, and grown-folks storytelling. That all came through even further in her 2026 EP Just Robbie.
For listeners who miss the bridge between gospel-bred vocals, danceable R&B, and family-tree soul history, Robbie Love is an artist worth following.
