Psy, who sparked a global sensation with Gangnam Style, has tried out a fresh sound with his latest single, releasing a hip-hop tale of drunken debauchery co-starring rap legend Snoop Dogg.

Entitled Hangover, the South Korean star’s new song returns to the Gangnam Style theme of material excess but eschews the giddy K-Pop arrangements of his 2012 megahit for more minimalist hip-hop beats.

The video features Psy and the notoriously hard-partying Snoop Dogg on a night of intense boozing. The subject matter is apparent from the video’s first moments in which Psy vomits in a toilet bowl, only to start tapping his hands to the rhythm as Snoop Dogg jumps out of a bathtub revved up to party.

In a line that could quickly become a favourite in late-night bars the world over, the song goes: “The party’s over! It ain’t over!” and, “Drink it up and get sick. Bottoms up, get wasted.”
