Listen: Lara Trump releases new single Eyes of God
Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, is releasing a new single this week even as she continues to mull entering the race for North Carolina's vacant Senate seat.
She shared the song, entitled Eyes of God, exclusively with The Telegraph.
'This song is a reminder that we are all more alike than we are different – everyone is dealing with different highs and lows and, in the era of hiding behind a screen, we should all take a moment to give one another a little grace,' she said.
'Instead of turning to a negative comment, maybe it's time we all turn to God.'
The track is due to be released on Friday.
Mrs Trump, 42, is married to the president's son Eric, making her one half of a Maga power couple.
While he oversees the family business, and will be in Scotland with his father for the opening of a new golf course next week, she has been a key Trump cheerleader on Fox News and an important factor in the 2024 election win.
Mrs Trump launched her musical career last year with a string of singles even as she served as co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, a key fundraising arm for Mr Trump's presidential run.
In the meantime, she hosts a Fox News TV show and last week interviewed the president to mark the anniversary of the Butler assassination attempt.
She also has a line of sports clothing based around patriotic or conservative themes including 'Made in America' and 'Maga Red'.
Her busy schedule raises questions around whether she has the bandwidth to enter politics full-time with a run for the Senate.
LJ Fino, her producer, said he had not discussed political plans with Mrs Trump.
'She's an incredibly talented, driven, and capable woman,' he said. 'Whether it's music, media, or potentially public service, she approaches everything with heart and excellence.
'I'm sure whatever decision she makes will be what's best for her family and for this country.'
Her fans will have to wait a little longer for another collection of songs. She was originally due to release an EP of songs on Friday.
'We've made the decision to delay the release of Lara Trump's EP, Just Lara, in order to put our final touches on the project and allow our incredible collaborators the time they need to deliver their very best work,' said Mr Fino. 'The new release date will be announced shortly.'
It includes a collaboration with Gims, the French-Congolese rapper, best known for his work in the hip hop group Sexion d'Assaut.
Mr Fino said the president's daughter-in-law was unafraid to step outside her comfort zone.
'So it felt completely natural for me to be open to this collaboration – especially since the song itself has real depth and represents a style that's quite different from what she usually does, which makes the project all the more exciting,' he said.
Last month Thom Tillis announced he was retiring from the Senate after clashing with Mr Trump. It means the Republican's Senate seat in North Carolina is up for grabs, and Mrs Trump, who was born and raised in the state, emerged as the clear favourite for the party nomination.
The president indicated he was her first choice but left her an excuse to gracefully decline.
'She's a great person, Lara Trump. I mean, that would always be my first choice, but she doesn't live there now,' Mr Trump said.
'But she's there all the time, her parents are there. You know, she really knows North Carolina well.'
Analysts say she would benefit from strong name recognition and instant backing at the very highest levels of the Republican Party.
