14 DAY TRIAL // Psy’s “Gangnam Style” broke all records and is now sitting pretty at over 2 billion views on YouTube, so saying that there was pressure on him to deliver a good single after it is the understatement of the century. In order to do that, he teamed up with rapper Snoop Dogg who, apparently, no longer goes by Snoop Lion.
The result is a song called “Hangover,” whose most appropriate description would be that it’s so bad it might actually be good. Strike that and make it “brilliant,” because people are already paying attention to it: as of the time of writing, the video has over 3 million hits on YouTube.
At points, the song is repetitive and nauseating, but at least you can’t blame these two for not being accurate, because it feels just like a hangover.
The video, on the other hand, is a lot of fun. Psy loves to make videos in which he pokes fun at himself and this definitely holds true here as well: so we get to see him and Snoop party non-stop, get excessively drunk, vomit, hydrate, and then start all over again. They’re dressed impeccably and, despite all this debacle, they never mess up their suits.
Meanwhile, we also get to see dancers shaking their stuff in their vicinity, but also Snoop doing some fierce moves only he could pull off.
“Hangover” is already available on iTunes and it’s actually meant to announce a new Psy single, called “Daddy,” which drops this summer. In other words, this is just a reminder that Psy exists and that he’s planning to take over the US and the European markets with his new album.
There, consider yourself reminded. Enjoy!
