That apparently isn\u2019t enough, however, as he\u2019s just added another one: label-signed rock musician. Daddy, the rock band Franco headlines with multi-instrumentalist Tim O\u2019Keefe, just signed to Kobalt for their upcoming album, Please Let Me Get What I Want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are really excited to partner with Kobalt on our upcoming Daddy album and film,\u201d the band told Billboard. \u201cKobalt has the right forward-thinking approach to work with a project as unique as ours, where we see our work not only existing within the music realm, but extending into the film, art space and beyond on an independent basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the album title suggests, Daddy is heavily influenced by The Smiths. In fact, they even recruited former Smiths bassist Andy Rourke to play on the album, and one previously-released track is titled \u201cThis Charming Man.\u201d It\u2019s not quite a cover of the original Smiths song, but rather an adaptation of a poem Franco wrote based on the song. Franco\u2019s book of poetry, Directing Herbert White, has two sections dedicated to poems inspired by The Best of the Smiths greatest hits collection. Each poem is named after a song.;<\/p>\n<p>Each track on Please Get What I Want will reportedly be accompanied by a music video. As with Beyonce or FKA Twigs\u2019 recent mixtape, the videos can be watched individually or in sequence as a film. Please Let Me Get What I Want is due out in 2016.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ew.com\/article\/2015\/11\/03\/james-franco-daddy-kobalt\">Source<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Franco\u2019s resume is already impressively long: acclaimed actor, Oscar host, Seth Rogen foil, film director, published poet, eternal college student.
