career
Sinclar started DJing in 1986, when he was 18 years old, specialising in funk and hip-hop music, with the name Chris The French Kiss. His first club hit was "Gym Tonic", which was co-produced by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, featuring vocals illegally taken from a Jane Fonda fitness tape. The Bob Sinclar persona was based on a character from Philippe de Broca's film Le Magnifique.
Le Friant is famous for popularising the "French touch" of house music[citation needed], with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. His track "I Feel For You", a tribute to French musician Cerrone, from his second album Champs Elysées, hit #9 in the UK Top 40. On track "Darlin'", he worked with vocalist James "D-Train" Williams.
Le Friant has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet, he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the Africanism project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of Latin, jazz, African and tribal flavours.
In 2005 he scored a hit with the single "Love Generation", that reached #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and the German Media Control Single Charts in 2006. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, also peaking at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 40 and it stood 39 weeks in the Ultratop 50 in Belgium. It also became one of the official anthems for the World Cup 2006 held in Germany. The follow-up hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most of the European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on 22 August 2006.
The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove is nominated for a Grammy 2007 in the category Remixed Recording. Also, "World, Hold On" topped in Billboard Magazine as Number One Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera.
The fourth single of the album Western Dream, called "Tennessee" was supposed to be released in April 2007, but has been canceled due to the rumour of a new album being released[citation needed].
His latest album is Soundz of Freedom. It came out in France on 21 May 2007. The remix of "Rock This Party" reached number 1 in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Charts

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open up your heart, what do you feel...
Open up your heart, what do you feel... is real
The big bang may be a million years away
But I can’t think of a better time to say
Instead of messing with our future, open up inside
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future, tell me no more lies
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Children of the sky…
Children of the sky…
Look inside, you’ll find a deeper love
The kind that only comes from high above
If you ever meet your inner child, don’t cry
Tell them everything is gonna be... alright
World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future, open up inside
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Children of the sky... alright
Open up your heart
Tell me, how do you feel?
Listen now, tell them everything
Right here right now
Alright, everybody, here in the world
You are all the children, alright
Together now
Unite, and fight... oooh
Open up you heart, no
Peace, love for everyone
Oh, no no no no no, alright
To the four corners of the world
Sing it loud, sing it loud, sing it loud loud
World, hold on on
Sing it loud, sing it proud
Everybody, yeah yeah yeah yeah, oooh
Don’t take no for an answer, no no, not today
Right here, spread love
Everybody join together now

World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Open up your heart, what do you feel...
Invite yourself to introspect and acknowledge the emotions you sense within yourself
Open up your heart, what do you feel... is real
Allow your heart to recognize what emotions are authentic and valid
The big bang may be a million years away
Time is constantly moving and every moment is essential
But I can’t think of a better time to say
There is no better moment than the present to vocalize a message
World, hold on
The world should exist harmoniously
Instead of messing with our future, open up inside
Rather than jeopardizing the future, individuals should transform themselves internally
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Someone has to account for the way we treat the planet, as well as the younger generation who are its inheritors
Children of the sky…
The new age - the next generation will be the one to carry the torch forward
Look inside, you’ll find a deeper love
By directed attention within, one can discover love with greater depth
The kind that only comes from high above
A type of love that is divine and beyond comprehension
If you ever meet your inner child, don’t cry
If you find the essence of the purity you had as a child, don't be sad
Tell them everything is gonna be... alright
Let that pure part of yourself understand and have belief in the fact that everything will be fine
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on
Everyone who is part of this world is invited to participate
Sing it loud, sing it proud
Sing out the message boldly and confidently
One (race), one heart, love and unity, everybody sing
As a human race, with a singular heart, love and solidarity, we should all sing together
