A remote collaboration that the artists share with two other musicians: a Belgian artist, Janee, whom Bob Sinclar took under his wing and that of his label Yellow Production, and an artist based in Amsterdam who helped him compose the melody . "We built a puzzle," he jokes. On social networks, he shared with his fans the process of building this new song.
"Single by single"
If the confinement allowed him to "free himself" and to share his favorites and musical inspirations, the DJ did not take advantage of these three months to work on a new album, on the contrary. "I do single by single," says the DJ, recalling the mode of consumption of music on streaming sites. "People create their own compilation. So to release an album, people will listen to one or two tracks. It's not that it doesn't have any interest but the music is consumed differently."
