Defying musical boundaries with a captivating fusion of pop, soul, rock, and country, up-and-coming singer-songwriter Rance Lazarus has unveiled his second single of the year, Spend A Little Time With Me.

The song’s plea to spend time together captures the longing to be known and understood, making it an irresistible invitation to embrace vulnerability and forge meaningful relationships.

Signifying a breath of fresh air, with a unique and refreshing sound that is sure to resonate with a larger audience, Lazarus sings:

I think you, should spend a little time with me, spend a little time with me, 

I think you, should spend a little time with me, and get to know, get to know me. 

It really is a song that will have you singing along after just one listen and craving more:

I know I’m not the only one who’s got his eyes on you,

So I can’t wait to give it a try to  see what we could be, we could be.

As soulful as it is electrifying, Lazarus’ influences surge and flourish throughout the near three and a half-minute track, with nods to icons like John Mayer, Keith Urban, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran.
