BOB SINCLAR Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Western Dream was the album that propelled Bob Sinclar to global superstardom. The French artist had already taken over the funky house world with his contribution to the French touch phenomenon, but here he pivoted to an insanely ear-catching strain of pop-minded club music which happily gorged on everything from reggae to country as Sinclar let all his musical inspirations rip on one wild album, aided and abetted by a cast of singers who lodged his tracks in the minds of millions. Now you can cop this album of fun-sized hits including 'Everybody Movin' and 'Love Generation' freshly repressed on double vinyl.

Review: Bob Sinclair is a French house legend and someone who played a big part in the famous French touch sound. He came back to the fore during covid lockdowns for his endlessly long and playful live streams. Now, maybe to strike while his profile is extra hot, his 1998 album Paradise gets remastered and reissued. It is packed with big and catchy house hooks, great vocals that are ripe for singing along to and timeless production that oozes nice analogue textures. A real gem of the house sounds that were emerging at the end of the last and start of the new millennium.

Review: First put out back in 2007, Soundz of Freedom is a landmark album in Bob Sinclar's discography. The French man has long been a towering figure in the world of house music with many chart hits and a DJ diary that takes him on endless trips around the globe. This album helped get him there and is now being reissued for the first time as a double vinyl. It has already been certified gold and features collaborations with renowned stars such as Axwell, Tocadisco, Ron Carroll, Jamie Lewis and Mousse T. Between them they explore plenty of accessible house sounds from deep to vocal to Afro-leaning and they have all aged well enough to still do a job to this day.

Review: Bob Sinclar is a French house icon who has very much provided some of the scene's finest crossover moments and most catchy hits. His newly reissued Disco Crash is a lively celebration of all forms of dance music that blends disco, house and pop influences with his signature feel-good vibes. Upbeat, club-ready tracks that feature a star-studded lineup come thick and fast including collaborations with artists like Pitbull, Shaggy and Dragonette. Each one bursts with a bright melody and irresistible top lines that make it impossible not to dance along while Sinclar's production is polished throughout.

Review: Bob Sinclar's Born in 69 reissue for 2024 presents an album filled with joyousness and infectious energy, showcasing Sinclar's talent for turning cover songs into dancefloor anthems. Collaborating with reggae crossover artists like Shabba Ranks and Kevin Lyttle, Sinclar infuses Caribbean influences throughout the album, evident in tracks like 'Love You No More' and 'New New New.' From the spirited revamp of the lambada in 'Give Me Some More' to the funky reinterpretation of classics like 'Mr. Tambourine Man' and Adrian Gurvitz's 'The Way I Feel,' Sinclar's creative flair shines through. The inclusion of tribal beats, psychedelic sitar and Middle Eastern flair adds depth and variety to the album's sonic landscape. While some tracks may lean heavily on auto-tuned vocals, the overall vibe of Born in '69 is undeniably upbeat and feel-good. It's an album that prioritizes fun above all else, inviting listeners to let loose and enjoy the infectious rhythms. Bob Sinclar proves once again that sometimes, all you need is music that makes you dance and smile.
