Bob Sinclar

French Supa Producer Bob Sinclar Brings it With His Posi-Pop-Packed US Debut. Includes the Million-Selling & FIFA World Cup Theme "Love Generation" & "World, Hold On". Beaming with positive power-pop, Western Dream, the US debut album by Parisian producer, Yellow Productions owner and our heavenly father of French House, Bob Sinclar will hit American streets on June 20, 2006.

"Love Generation," the album's sunny first single, recorded in New York City and featuring singer Gary "Nesta" Pine (current lead singer of the legendary reggae group The Wailers), an acoustic guitar, a club-friendly track and a hooky whistled chorus, is now a bona fide worldwide pop hit. An instant hit in France (the single sold 120,000 copies in its first two weeks out), "Love Generation" hit the #1 spot on pop charts in Germany, Austria and Australia, charting at #2 in the UK. So far "Love Generation" has sold over 1 million physical (in addition to MP3) singles and is currently a "Platinum" single on the Billboard World Top 100 singles chart. "Love Generation" is the official FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) World Cup 2006 (soccer) theme song. It will be heard in millions of homes this summer staring June 9, when the tournament kicks off live from the Allianz Arena in Munich.The follow-up single, "World Hold On," carries forward the glowing "Love Generation" message. It features vocalist Steve Edwards, most known for recent club hits with French duo Cassius ("The Sound of Violence") and Axwell ("When The Sun Goes Down"). The single is already buzzing as the song of the summer 2006.

Though "Western Dream" is a dance album at heart, Sinclar's songs are infused with a variety of musical and vocal textures reflecting the global scope of his influences. From Reggae (above), Afrobeat ("Amora, Amor"), Calypso ("Rock This Party"), gospel ("Everybody Movin'"), Brit-pop "For You") to even Country ("Tennessee") and Acoustic ("Give A Lil' Love"), the album adds up to a feel-good world party.

Of the melting-pot sound, Sinclar says, "I think the mix of sounds makes many of these songs unlike anything else in the market. There are lots of dance tracks to keep everybody moving, but I want it to appeal to the people who bought "Love Generation" as well." Long a glamorous figure on the international club scene, Bob gives as good as he looks, and has DJed and produced his way into the jet-set stratosphere of dance music superstars. Credited as one of originators of the Acid Jazz movement as well as the hot French House sound of the late 90's (Dimitri From Paris made his debut on the Yellow Productions label), he is the mastermind and producer behind the recent Yellow Productions Recording / Tommy Boy Entertainment releases "Africanism III" by the Africanism Allstars, "Brasil" by Paris-based Brazilian chanteuse Salome de Bahia, and "Antigua" by Parisian bossa nova duo Tom & Joy. And with the new album, Western Dream, he has reinvented Bob Sinclar yet again, this time as a producer of catchy, feel-good, rhythmic pop. So why the title "Western Dream" and the cover art with Sinclar asleep in the field? "I've always played with my image as an artist. First it was this playboy spy, then the jet-set DJ and now?at least on this album cover?I am a young farmer lost in my dream of a sunny, happy, positive world. I don't think the younger generation is dreaming any more, but if you dream and believe,anything is possible if you really want it."
