Milagro (Jaci Velasquez album)

Milagro (English: Miracle) is the eighth studio album by Contemporary Christian music singer Jaci Velasquez. The album was released by Sony Discos on April 1, 2003 (see 2003 in music). This record won a Billboard Latin Music Award in the category "Best Christian Album". Although lyrically considered the most secular of all her works, the album was not as successful as her previous Spanish works due to Sony Discos changing hands in management that same year and a lack of promotion. The album was nominated at the Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album at the 5th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, losing to De Mil Colores by Rosario.[not verified in body]
