All Music Guide

On Born in ‘69, Bob Sinclar's sixth studio album, the Grammy-nominated French DJ and producer continues to move away from his early filtered disco beginnings, opting instead for a more dancehall-inflected sound. Featuring reggae crossover artists Shabba Ranks, Kevin Lyttle, and Tony Rebel alongside less-established acts Vybrate and Queen Ifrica, it includes the singles "Lala Song" and "Love You No More." Released in 2009, the album also features collaborations with influential hip-hop pioneers the Sugarhill Gang, house vocalist Steve Edwards, and electro-soul singer Adam Joseph.
