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

In Bob Sinclar's song "Striptease," we hear the voice of Lady Saw, a Jamaican reggae artist, who is preparing to dance for wealthy men in an uptown area. From the lyrics, we can interpret that Lady Saw is a stripper and is asking for the opportunity to strip so that she can have the chance to tease these men and bring them to their knees. She suggests getting high, smoking some trees, spending their "g's," and being there to please. Lady Saw uses animalistic and sexual language when she says she knows their needs and asks for the cheese, referring to money. She proceeds to ask if it's hot enough to proceed and to make a lot of noise and get naughty. She even asks them to turn on their bodies and get blue, which further indicates that the lyrics are highly sexualized. Lady Saw's stripping is expressed by telling the men to take off their clothes and bring the water hose.
Overall, the song "Striptease" presents Lady Saw's desire to strip and dance for wealthy men, using her sexuality to gratify their desires. The lyrics have a highly sexualized and exotic tone, reflecting the exotic dancer persona that Lady Saw embodies. The language used in the song reinforces the idea of objectifying and commodifying women as sexual objects. However, with a closer look, this song also touches on the complexities of the sex industry, such as the power dynamic between performers and clients, and the reliance on sex work as a means of survival.
