Myles Lloyd's "DMC": A K-Pop Glow-Up with GEMINI, Karencici & JUNNY

Montreal-based R&B artist Myles Lloyd continues to build meaningful bridges between his music and the listeners who champion it with his new single “DMC.” The track invites Gemini, Karencici, and JUNNY into the world of his breakout song “Drive Me Crazy,” reshaping it through a K-pop–inspired lens while honoring the emotion that first drew people in. It feels less like a departure and more like a natural evolution, acknowledging how far the original has traveled and the community that helped bring it there.

For new listeners discovering Lloyd through this single, “DMC” offers a strong glimpse into his broader artistry. His music draws from classic soul, modern R&B, and early 2000s pop, with a focus on storytelling that speaks to overthinkers, romantics, and anyone trying to navigate complex feelings. Projects like “Goodbye,” “Forever, Yours,” and “WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?,” along with his recent album “I’m Still Thinking,” show an artist committed to honesty, growth, and thoughtful craftsmanship. Each release has helped shape him into one of the most compelling voices in his lane.

“Drive Me Crazy” has quietly grown into a global favorite, resonating deeply with listeners in South Korea and beyond. With more than 26 million streams and a nod from ENHYPEN, the song’s reach has extended far outside Lloyd’s home base, reflecting the way heartfelt R&B can connect across language and geography. Seeing that response, especially from Korean fans, encouraged Lloyd to revisit the energy and excitement he associates with K-pop and Korean R&B, and to imagine what this story could sound like if he told it alongside artists who are shaping that space right now.

That imagination takes shape in “DMC.” The single keeps the tender core of “Drive Me Crazy” while introducing new dynamics through each featured artist. Lloyd’s smooth falsetto and introspective tone provide the foundation, and Gemini, Karencici, and JUNNY each add their own colors without overshadowing the original feeling. The result is a version that feels both familiar and refreshed, crafted with intention for the listeners who embraced the song first and asked for more.

Lloyd has been open about how inspiring it was to see support coming from Korea, describing how it reignited his appreciation for the high energy and emotional impact of K-pop. Revisiting older favorites and discovering artists like Karencici, JUNNY, and Gemini became part of that process, and “DMC” turns that inspiration into something concrete and collaborative. It reads as a genuine thank-you to the community that helped lift “Drive Me Crazy” and a celebration of what can happen when artists from different scenes meet on shared ground.

The release of “DMC” also arrives at a meaningful moment in Lloyd’s live journey. He is on the road supporting JUNNY on Canadian tour dates, bringing their collaboration from the studio to the stage. After opening in Montreal, Lloyd is joining JUNNY for shows across Canada, including upcoming dates in Vancouver on March 4 at the Vogue Theatre and Calgary on March 5 at The Palace Theatre. For fans, it’s a chance to experience the connection behind the record in real time, with both artists sharing the same stage.

By inviting Gemini, Karencici, and JUNNY into the world of “Drive Me Crazy,” Myles Lloyd highlights how music can travel, transform, and come back stronger with the help of the listeners who carry it. For fans of K-pop, Korean R&B, and modern R&B alike, this version stands as a warm, collaborative response to a song that clearly found a home far beyond where it started.
