Alfie Boe honors Mani in new single Face Myself
Alfie Boe releases Face Myself as a heartfelt tribute to Mani, the late Stone Roses bassist, weaving memories of Manchester's indie and dance scene into a moving ballad.
Alfie Boe has released Face Myself, a new single that serves as a heartfelt tribute to Mani, the late Stone Roses bassist who also played with Primal Scream. In the track, Boe croons the line "Good old Mani played it right," a nod to the musician's enduring influence and a moment of personal memory.
The song threads Boe's memories of Manchester's indie and dance scene from his teenage years into a contemporary sound, capturing the era that shaped his sound. Mani's passing in November last year adds a solemn glow to the tribute, making Face Myself feel both retrospective and intimate.
Beyond a musical homage, the release shines a light on Mani's legacy within Manchester's music scene and the broader rock and dance crossover that defined the city in the 1990s. Boe's voice carries warmth and respect, inviting fans to reflect on a musician whose contributions helped shape a generation.
