James Franco’s group Daddy have inked a deal to release a full-length album and film entitled Let Me Get What I Want, a project largely inspired by the work of the Smiths.

The actor (director, writer, producer, painter, poet etc), and multi-instrumentalist Tim O’Keefe have signed a worldwide multi-year deal with Kobalt for the release, due in 2016. Each song will apparently come with its own video, which, when watched in sequence, tells a bigger story.

While the project’s title is obviously lifted from the Smiths’ 1984 song, Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want, Daddy’s celebration of the group goes one step further: the Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke will reportedly feature on each of the tracks on the album.

“We are really excited to partner with Kobalt on our upcoming Daddy album and film,” the duo said. “Kobalt 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.”

Franco’s fondness of the Salford group is nothing new, however. In his book of poetry, Directing Herbert White: Poems, there are two sections called Poems Inspired By Smiths’ Songs. These poems will form the basis for Let Me Get What I Want.
