Psy has teased plans to release a new studio album this summer, Digital Spy said.

The South Korean rapper hopes to release his first international collection later this year, following the successes of 'Gangnam Style' and 'Gentleman'.

"I've got to promo this song '[Gentleman]! Next week, I am starting to travel again, [going] to seven or eight countries," Psy told MTV.

"I'm going to be done by end of June, and then, after that I'm really going to work hard on the album, so that hopefully I can release it during the summer season."

Psy has already released six studio albums in South Korea, but his upcoming collection will serve as his first global release.

Meanwhile, the star's latest hit 'Gentleman' has been given a 1920s makeover by a group of musicians, after they were inspired by Baz Luhrmann's take on The Great Gatsby.
