Myles Lloyd rewrites the rules of r&b with "DMC"

Myles Lloyd of Montreal is extending a breakout moment into a brash new chapter. Today, he returns with “DMC,” a K-pop reimagining of his fan-favorite track “Drive Me Crazy,” featuring GEMINI, Karencici, and JUNNY.

What started as a surprise breakthrough from South Korea has blossomed into a cross-cultural collaboration that feels easy and electric. “DMC” doesn’t simply rehash a hit, it reframes it. The track frames itself within glossy K-pop textures. Still, it keeps the emotional resonance of why the original hit so hard. Nostalgic synths shimmer beneath pop-tight production, and falsetto melodies cruise through the beat with the effortlessness of a glide.

“DMC” exudes Lloyd’s signature openness. His music has always sounded like a late-night confession, honest, introspective, unafraid of emotional intensity. With a sound that merges classic soul, modern R&B, and early-2000s pop influences, he’s making music for the overthinkers, the romantics, anyone who’s ever felt like they're feeling just a little bit too much.

Alongside GEMINI, Karencici, and JUNNY joining the fray for “End of Time,” the song expands its emotional universe. Each artist contributes their own tone and texture, transforming “DMC” into a vibrant conversation rather than a solitary reflection. The result is infectious but intimate, pop precision cloaked in a slow burn.
