It seems that Lara Trump might need to stick to her day job for now, as her latest music video has faced a wave of harsh criticism.
The RNC co-chair and former president Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law has ventured into the music scene before, but her efforts have often been met with mixed reviews, particularly from the left.
“Hero” Faces Backlash
Her newest release, “Hero,” a collaboration with songwriter Madeline Jaymes, aims to honor firefighters and first responders.
However, the response has been anything but kind. On social media, critics have been unrelenting.
Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson was particularly scathing, comparing her voice to “a wild hog and a sack of rusty cans being thrown into an industrial wood chipper.”
Lyrics and Public Reaction
The song’s lyrics criticize the pursuit of social media validation, with lines like, “It takes a lot to put you last and everybody first.
No, this can’t be for likes. With your heart, they can make gold.”
Yet, despite this seemingly sincere message, listeners have not held back in their criticism.
One user called it “HEAVILY auto-tuned,” while another lamented, “What did our eardrums do to deserve this?”
Social Media and Celebrity Reactions
The video received more negative feedback, with one poster likening it to “two AI clones being thrown down a flight of stairs desperately trying to harmonize.”
Actor Ethan Embry added that it’s unfair to criticize the song without enduring the full experience of Lara Trump’s “computerized tone” and “ghost-written lyrics.”
Some even compared her to Yoko Ono and other infamous figures in music.
Previous Music Ventures
Lara Trump’s foray into music isn’t new.
Her first original single was released in April and was described as a fun project she worked on over the winter.
The song, available on platforms like Spotify and iTunes, includes motivational lyrics such as “you can’t give up, know that anything is possible.”
Past Controversies
Last September, she released a cover of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down,” which sparked controversy.
She accused Apple Music of shadow banning her song and claimed Clear Channel refused to promote it due to the Trump name.
Despite these claims, both versions of the song and her new single do appear on iTunes.
Music Career Perspective
In an interview with DailyMail.com, Lara Trump clarified that she isn’t aiming to become a professional singer.
She expressed her love for music and playing the piano, emphasizing that her intentions are more about sharing her passion rather than pursuing a music career.
Future Plans
Lara Trump mentioned that the recording experience was enjoyable and that she feels it resonates with current frustrations in the country.
Despite previous issues with Tom Petty’s family over the use of his music, Lara has indicated she isn’t concerned about their opinions.
What’s next for Lara Trump? Only time will tell if her music career will continue or if she’ll return to focusing on her other endeavors.
