Jaci Velasquez to Birth Album - and Son

|PIC1|Popular Christian vocalist Jaci Velasquez is currently in the studio working on her next album.

The new CD will be produced by Mark Heimermann, who has worked with Velasquez in the past on albums such as Crystal Clear and her debut album Heavenly Place.

Velasquez and her husband, Nic Gonzalez of Christian band Salvador, are expecting their first child, a boy, this November. The couple were married last December.

Velasquez won the Gospel Music Association's Dove Award for Best New Artist in 1997, and now, more than 10 years later, her new album will be released by her label Apostrophe Records in early 2008.

She will also be helping promote Max Lucado's 3:16 - Songs of Hope album which is the companion CD to the compelling new book from New York Times best-selling author Max Lucado in which she has a brand new recording now at radio called "Loved By You".

The album also features award-winning recording artists Third Day, Alison Krauss, Michael W Smith, Chris Tomlin, and many more sharing musical tributes to the message of John 3:16.
