Laci Kaye Booth Revels in the Highs and Lows of Relationships on New Album ‘Love Ain’t for The Faint of Heart’: ‘About Love In All Its Forms’

Laci Kaye Booth tells Billboard about the making of her new album.

Country music artist Laci Kaye Booth, opening shows on Ella Langley's Dandelion Tour, has just released her newest album, Love Ain't For The Faint of Heart. The album, produced by Ben West, showcases Booth's unique brand of "dreamy country" as she dives into the complexities of relationships. The project was birthed from her recent romantic relationship with Morgan Evans and her connection to her father, Jody Booth, who inspired hits like "George F****** Strait" and "Daddy's Mugshot."

Booth's velvety, dusky vocals traverse a spectrum of genres, from country ballads to rock-infused numbers, with songs like "The Illusion of Love" featuring Lukas Nelson and a haunting rendition of her older song "Ethereal Redneck Shit." Booth spoke about the album's diverse textures and her decision to take a step back from pursuing chart-topping hits, allowing her to create a record that truly reflects her core self.
