About this album

Manifesto finds Roxy Music reshaping their art-rock identity for the late 1970s, replacing some of the earlier glamour with a cooler, more streamlined sound. Released in 1979, the album blends synth-pop polish with rock sophistication, and Brian Ferry’s detached elegance sits alongside sharp hooks and danceable rhythms. “Dance Away” became one of the group’s best-known singles, helping the record reach a broader audience while keeping Roxy Music’s distinctive sense of style intact. The album marked a successful return after a three-year gap and showed the band adapting to changing tastes without losing their singular sophistication.

Genre: Pop & Rock
