It’s probably one of the oddest collaborations known to pop music – but when big bucks are at stake, it seems anything will go. <br /><br />South Korean K-pop artist Psy has teamed up with the king of hip hop Snoop Dogg for a new venture entitled ‘Hangover’. <br /><br />But the South Korean star says he knows he will always be defined by his 2012 global hit. “When I’m releasing a next song or next step or whatever, people always comparing my new thing with ‘Gangnam Style,’ which is unbeatable,” says Psy. <br /><br />The bizarre, colour-saturated video featuring the now-iconic invisible horse dance recently exceeded two billion views on YouTube. <br /><br />“I cannot beat the song forever, and I’m not going to beat the song forever. In that way I don’t like the song,” Psy added.<br /><br />‘Hangover’, which has already gone viral on the internet, features the two singers getting drunk and then trying various Korean hangover cures.<br /><br />Psy says he believes Snoop Dogg was the perfect partner for this video: “As soon as I got that hook I thought about, you know, I could only think about one person: Snoop Dogg. We all know he is hanging over (sic) every day. So, you know, I called him right away and I said ‘Can you feature on my song? It’s going to be a real honour’. And he asked me, ‘What is the title of the song?’ and I said ‘It’s ‘Hangover’‘ and he said ‘I’m doing it.’ He really liked the title of the song. So that’s how we met.”<br /><br />While Time magazine has dubbed it “art”, reviews have not all been that positive, with another critic calling it “a terrible disaster”. <br /><br />Psy says he plans to return to his Electronic Dance Music roots with his next EP, due out later this year.
