What's to Come is The Highlife Band's sophomore effort, and takes a much more roots reggae approach than the Seattle 9 piece band's self-titled debut album. The tunes are all original. Absent are imitation patois accents, recycled standard riddims, or sampling from previous recordings. The new compositions feature rockers, bif-baf, dancehall, cumbia, one-drop, and steppers beats, which push the envelope on the reggae genre.
