Sinclar is famous for popularizing the "french touch" of house music, with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. His track "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.
Sinclar 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 flavors. In 2005 he scored a hit with his 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. The followup 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 August 22, 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" was chosen by Billboard Magazine as the 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 cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released.
That album was Soundz of Freedom. It came out in May 2007.
His latest album is Born In 69, released 2 years after the last album, May 2009. The first single of the album was LaLa Song, together with Sugarhill Gang

The lyrics of Bob Sinclar's "Lala Song" are a tribute to the origins and roots of hip-hop. The Sugar Hill Gang is mentioned in the introduction, as they were one of the very first rap groups to gain commercial success with songs such as "Rapper's Delight." The song starts with Master Gee and Sugar Hill Gang reminiscing about the old times, where the DJs used to spoil the crowds and MCs would come in and test the mic.
The nostalgic lyrics, combined with the upbeat and playful tone of the song, celebrate the essence of old school hip-hop culture. The lyrics encourage the listeners to let go of their worries and just dance to the funky sounds of the DJ. Bob Sinclar reminds the listeners that no party is like an old school party and it's okay to let loose and have fun.
The song is not just a nostalgic tribute, but it's also a message for the younger generation to understand that hip-hop was born as a response to the struggles and adversities of African-American communities. The song urges the listeners to appreciate the roots of the music that they enjoy and celebrate its legacy.

I heard this song 10+ years ago, and I never knew the damn name. It was always stuck in my head and ive finally found it! Im so happy bro
@Hanagigi
Yesterday the Sugarhill Gang performed in Milano, at the hip-hop event "Be There or Be Square".
When lala song came up, you could see that the audience knew it by heart, and everyone started singing it. At least for that song the public really got into it, and you could feel the great vibes all around.
I guess that we Italians just love this song!
