James Franco - going under the pseudonym Daddy - is to release an antire album of songs directly inspired by The Smiths that feature Smiths bassist Andy Rourke.
The songs are constructed from Franco's poetry, influenced by the writings of Morrissey.
Daddy's record is due some point in 2015, and is called Let Me Get What I Want. Each track will feature an accompanying clip. Read more about the "multimedia" project on Vice.
