New York, NY - (October 26, 2011) - On February 7, 2012, Multi-Award Winning Artist Jaci Velasquez will be releasing her new Inpop Records album titled Diamond. The first single released from this album is called "Give Them Jesus" which has been the Most Added song at Christian AC Radio in its first two weeks of release. Today, the single climbed the Billboard Christian Audience Chart to #46 with over a half million impressions. The single is also poised in the #1 New & Active slot on both the Billboard Christian AC Monitored and Indicator charts as well. "Jaci delivered to radio exactly what was needed...an undeniable hit song," Andrew Patton, GM Inpop Records states. "What's so great about this launch is that we have a worldwide star in Jaci, and a perfect presentation of her heart through music in "Give Them Jesus."

Recognition also is being given from other industry greats with quotes such as:

"Give Them Jesus," is fresh, relevant & mature. Nothing less than I hoped for and so much more than I expected. Thanks Jaci. - Mike Medlin, KGCB, Phoenix, AZ

"'Give Them Jesus' has a great hook that clearly reflects our values and beliefs. A song that gets you singing and causes you to take action in your faith." - Rob Dempsey, His Radio, Greenville, SC

"The song is a call to who we are to be in Christ. I've seen a number of hurting people with signs on the side of the road begging for help. I drive by trying not to make eye contact. This song answers my question of what I'm supposed to do." - Corey Mann, WHPZ, South Bend, Indiana

Diamond is the creative product of a new season in Jaci Velasquez's life.
