The album The Highlife is a tribute to the Ghanaian tradition of highlife music, distinguished by a unique sound with a guitar playing style characterized by distinctive finger-picking, minimalist yet catchy bass lines, percussive keyboard patterns, soulful melodies played by the brass section, and a strong emphasis on rhythm. The album highlights legends of the genre: Pat Thomas, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, and Koo Nimo. On this album, Peter Somuah blends highlife with jazz, creating a style he calls "jazz highlife." It also conveys messages of social justice, healing, and gratitude, while remaining upbeat and danceable.
