MUSIC – It is not a “kamoulox”, even if it looks. In a few weeks, listeners will be able to discover a new song from Gims, a duo with an American star with an astonishing identity. It is indeed as revealed The Parisian From Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, and daughter-in-law of Donald Trump.
The Congolese singer and the member of the Trump family who has been trying to break into the country have been working in secret for several months on this surprising musical collaboration, reveals The Parisian. Liil Serge, the singer’s American producer told our colleagues, how this improbable duo was born.
He explains that he received a call from the producer of Lara Trump, LJ Fino, saying that the latter adored Gims and wanted to record a song with him. After checking that it was not a hoax, Liil Serge triggered the process.
After a first “videoconferencing” meeting during which the former co-president of the National Republican Committee would have spoken in impeccable French, they created a WhatsApp group to start sharing their artistic ideas. And after several weeks of ping-pong by interposed messages, the song makassi (Fort in Lingala) was born. As revealed by ParisianGims and Lara Trump did not record this song together but from a distance, but it is well side by side that they will run in the clip soon. The latter, just as the song must be revealed at the start of the next school year.
Lara Trump, who officially launched her musical career until 2023, also collaborated on this first album still expected across the Atlantic with French Montana. She pursues a political and television career in parallel with her first musical steps by presenting My View with Lara Trump On Fox News, but also through in particular, a Sportswear collection.
This collaboration of Gims with an international star is however not the first. In 2018 on the title Corazonhe sang with Lil Wayne and French Montana. In the song I forgive you Released in 2015, it was with the Australian superstar SIA that he sang in duet. As its producer says to our colleagues, this new collaboration feeds the singer’s ambition to win a little more on the international scene. And she could bear fruit, at least to Trumpists.
