Champs Elysées Bob Sinclar Artist

{|Bob Sinclar|}, just slightly more of a self-publicist than {|Thomas Bangalter|} (the {|Daft Punk|} mainman and co-producer of {|Sinclar|}'s {|Gym Tonic|} hit), seemed completely resistant to changing any of the longstanding cliches of {|filter-disco|} and the '70s nostalgia movement for his second LP, {|Champs Elysees|}. Ably summoning the spirit of the age of {|Cerrone|} and {|Charlie's Angels|}, {|Sinclar|} proved himself a solid producer despite the lack of freshness, adding in plenty of swooping strings, nickel-bag guitars, and soft-toned keyboards. {|Got to Be Free|} and {|Darlin'|} (featuring ex-{|D-Train|} vocalist {|James D-Train Williams|}) are a pair of {|disco|}-mover productions that wouldn't sound out of place on classic American {|R&B|} radio, and {|Sinclar|} has plenty of fun throughout the LP. ~ John Bush
