The Lebanese-Canadian with a Germanic stage name and charting in Japan,
Karl Wolf's Nightlife was released in 2009 on the heels of the success of his previous album, Bite the Bullet, and its rendition of
Toto's "Africa." On Nightlife,
Wolf takes two directions for his singles: a turn in Arabic with "Yalla Habibi," and a combination with British MC Sway DaSafo for "Hurting." A Japanese version includes a remix of Bite the Bullet's prime single "Carrera." ~ Adam Greenberg
