One of the world's most brilliant performers is gearing up for his April 13 follow-up to his record-breaking track "Gangman Style." Korean Pop star PSY has announced the title of his new upcoming song and provided fans with several curious details as to what they can expect.
The world renowned rapper says his new track will be called "Gentleman" and told fans that they should prepare themselves for another highly choreographed dance to accompany the highly anticipated tune.
"Gentleman" will serve as the follow-up to PSY's smash hit "Gangman Style," which ravaged music charts around the world in 2012. The viral video currently holds the record for the most watched YouTube video ever, with nearly 1.5 billion views as of April 3. It was also the first video to ever break 1 billion views, achieving the lofty goal in December of last year. The featured dance sparked a worldwide trend and has been emulated time and time again. PSY hopes that his dance to "Gentleman" can ignite a similar global craze.
"I've been working and reworking on it continuously and I think the latest version will be the final one," he told Korean TV this week. "This is another very rousing song. Its title is 'Gentleman.' The dance is one known to all Koreans but it new to foreigners. This will be presented in PSYstyle."
"Gentleman" will be unleashed during the special live streaming concert event "Happening" on April 13. If it's even half the sensation "Gangman Style" was, PSY will claim his spot as one of the most celebrated performers of all time, on the Internet at least.
PSY's fame has stemmed from one song and one song only. His follow-up track will serve as a true testament to his talent. If it flops, the world will have it's greatest and most disappointing one hit wonder of all time, but if he can deliver yet another global knockout, it's time we all bow down to the God that is PSY.
