Discover Bob Sinclar’s Latest Dance Collection on ‘The Roses EP’

If you’ve been following Bob Sinclar ’s journey over the past three decades, The Roses EP feels less like a reinvention and more like a reaffirmation. The Parisian DJ and producer—who once rode the wave of 2000s house with anthems like “Love Generation” and “World, Hold On”—proves with this four-track collection that he’s not only aware of today’s global music climate, he’s actively shaping it.

What’s immediately striking about The Roses EP is its reach—not in terms of geographical streaming stats (though Bob Sinclar still racks up over 17 million monthly listeners), but in how genuinely multicultural this record feels. It’s not a box-ticking exercise in “world music” nor a surface-level playlist filler. This EP is intentional, collaborative, and rhythmic without sacrificing structure.

The opening track, “I Go,” featuring Nigerian artist Shine TTW, is the EP’s beating heart. Shine’s voice is fresh and unforced, weaving through Bob Sinclar’s layered production with a sense of emotional urgency. The fusion here doesn’t feel forced—it’s a meeting point between two artists who clearly respect groove and tone in equal measure. Shine, who calls his style “Afro-Sentio,” offers more than a vocal: he brings a philosophy, one rooted in emotional transmission. Bob Sinclar, in turn, gives him a platform that’s polished but never sterilized.

“Take It Easy on Me,” with British-Ghanaian rapper Michael Ekow, takes the EP into more introspective territory. There’s a gentle urgency in Ekow’s performance, a kind of narrative clarity that sets this track apart. It’s not easy to balance lyrical content with danceable beats, but Sinclar manages to pull it off here. Michael Ekow’s story—of faith, identity, migration—sits on top of a subtle but insistent rhythm that keeps the song club-ready without sacrificing its message.

“Speechless,” the EP’s only solo track, is a callback to Bob Sinclar’s roots. It’s a minimal, hypnotic groove that strips the vocals away entirely and lets the production do the storytelling. There’s something refreshing about that—especially in a time when most dance music feels oversaturated with top-line vocals. “Speechless” doesn’t try to say anything. It just works.

Finally, “Love Will Be Love,” with Amsterdam-based artist Stargaetz, brings the project full circle. It’s the most melodic and pop-friendly track on the record, but there’s still enough edge to keep it anchored. Stargaetz injects the track with a sweet tension—an Afro-pop lilt carried by electronic muscle. It’s catchy, but more importantly, it’s clean in its execution.

Bob Sinclar brings together voices that carry weight, rhythm, and perspective, building something that hits hard without losing depth. Each track adds a new layer to the experience, shaped by artists who don’t just perform—they leave an imprint. This is a record made for today’s global dance floor: focused, fearless, and alive in every beat.
