Actor James Franco for the new Gucci by Gucci Sport. Anyone recognize the music? I think it's someone or another covering Bryan Ferry's Slave to Love.

The music is Roisin Murphy – Slave To Love. She’s an Irish singer/songwriter, found fame with Moloko, now gone solo. She’s well known in the UK.
Are you sure? She did the last one:

…but this one sounded different. Maybe I’m dreaming & it is the same!
“In the video, Franco repeats the words of the Bryan Ferry song, “Slave to Love.” The commercial plays a cover of the song by the talented Róisín Murphy…”—http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-franco-gucci-tv
the only reson I’m posting this quote is to show the what I feel is the awesomeness of Google’s semantic web search. The second hit was this one for a search titled “gucci james franco song”
I’m constantly amazed by the power of semantic search.
It’s really hard to remember how grim it was before Google…
Yes I’m sure
The previous might sound a bit different, like a remix or something, or just another part of the song. But I’m sure it’s her version.
Excellent, thanks!
anytime, R !
Sorry for posting in the wrong place, I need more coffee!
Ditto. Why doesn’t Starbucks deliver?? I’d pay $10 for a nice latte right now.
Me too. I don’t even have one where I live, but I wish I could just order by phone or online. Worked night shift last night, slept like a log, woke up about an hour ago ( 5 PM here in Europe). Still tired.
Oh, then you have more excuse than I do!
Okay, I give in, James Franco is gorgeous. But under my breath I mutter ‘yet ANOTHER new sport frag?’ I don’t care how gorgeous he is, I will not be lured in.
Ditto.
sigh, living 80 miles from the nearest Starbucks
James Franco really is hot, not enough to rope me in. Just what we need-another sports fragnance…
James Franco is going for his PhD in English at Yale University. And he is gorgeous. And hilarious.
He is going to marry me, obviously.
I forgot to mention the fragrance! If James Franco wears it, I’ll give it a chance. I suppose.
Hope your kids get his stunning cheekbones.
I really like the opening of Sport but within 2 mins it starts to smell just like everything else. I actually have never had a sports cologne so maybe I’ll give in. It isnt bad at all but it smells like everything else. I dont have everything else so I might just get me a bottle. Might. And he is a very handsome guy. BUT, my sister graduated from UCLA last yr and he was suppose to be the guest speaker and he bailed on them!!! I thought it was pretty messed up. Plus my mom was really excited to see him bcuz hes one of her many actor boyfriends!! LOL!
It’s probably a rhetorical question, but you’ve all seen this, right? (Created & uploaded by the man himself!)
