Diamond (Jaci Velasquez album)
Diamond is Jaci Velasquez's seventh studio album, released in 2012 on Inpop Records. The producers of this album are Craig Swift and Chris Bevins, who are both in the band Salvador, along with Jaci's husband, Nic Gonzalez. Reception
Diamond received mixed reviews. AllMusic notes that "the result (of the mixed genres of this album) is a somewhat jarring experience...In that respect, Diamond feels a little too self-conscious, too concerned about what the commercial prospects of the album would be rather than making a bold artistic statement". Roger Gelwicks of Jesus Freak Hideout.com says that "Diamond doesn't feel very surprising in its execution, although this is probably the most radio-friendly Velasquez has ever been...songs with innovation and vibrancy just aren't to be found here". Both Allmusic and Jesus Freak Hideout gave this album 3 out of 5 stars. Track listing
