The story of Bob Sinclar Ft. Fireball
Why we feature this artist
A vocal with its own spring in the step
“What I Want” brings Fireball’s rhythmic vocal presence into Bob Sinclar’s 2007 Soundz of Freedom period. The performance has a quick, playful movement that keeps the record from settling into a generic smoothness. Sinclar’s production supplies a firm dance frame, but the vocal gives the track its most individual changes of pace.
The Fireball presentation
The Yellow Productions release is explicitly presented as Bob Sinclar Presents Fireball, with several versions of the song. That billing makes the featured performer central to the recording’s identity. The voice is not just an accent added to a producer’s instrumental: it is the part around which the track’s personality gathers.
The original campaign connects “What I Want” to Soundz of Freedom. It belongs to a run of Sinclar recordings that made room for voices drawing on different rhythmic traditions, using a clear house-oriented arrangement to bring those contributions into one accessible setting.
Club and street perspectives
The release’s Club Mix and Street Mix offer different balances around the same central performance. One can foreground the steadiness of the dance pulse, while another changes the relationship between vocal detail and instrumental space. The shared hook makes the connection between the versions easy to follow.
Fireball’s phrasing remains the useful constant. The performance can feel light on its feet even when the backing is firm and repetitive, creating movement within the line rather than relying only on production builds. “What I Want” is a small, distinct chapter in Sinclar’s catalogue, with its appeal located in that individual vocal rhythm.
