Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/celebmix.com\/exclusive-premiere-of-rozies-new-single-lil-longer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CelebMix<\/a> about the track, Rozie said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis song started out as just a simple beat that Waspy made off the cuff. Originally when I heard it, I wasn\u2019t sure the two-step vibe would fit my project but when Danny McKinnon jammed on the record and I knew it could it was going to be something special. I love the simplicity of the beat and the fact that there are only a few lyrics\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">You can find Rozie online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rozieofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/officialrozie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/officialrozie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lil Longer by Rozie\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F461250957&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian singer songwriter Rozie&#8217;s passion for music began at a very early age, when she begged her parents for piano lessons, eventually gaining her certification from the Royal Conservatory.
