Verity Record's multi-award-nominated female artist Joann Rosario has a CD out called 'Joyous Salvation,' a stunning collection of songs of hope and healing, which the Associated Press calls "a cool drink of water at high noon during a heat wave." If you liked her song "More, More, More" from a few years ago, and you like Spirit-filled music with a Spanish-language flava, Joann is your girl.

Joann Rosario, hosted the Gospel Music Channel’s red carpet interviews at the '08 Stellar Awards in Nashville. Rosario (right) is pictured with Tamela and David Mann, co-stars of the March 21 Lionsgate Films motion picture, “Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns.”

Rosario discussed the new project on BET's top-rated "Lift Every Voice" program, hosted by Gerard Henry. The 1-hour episode captures the uniquely multi-faceted nature of Rosario's music and ministry, focusing on a recent performance in New York's legendary Harlem neighborhood.

Rosario also shared her music with radio listeners across the country "live" on the popular Yolanda Adams Morning Show. The high-energy morning radio program is syndicated by Radio One and airs in several U.S. markets weekdays from 6am-10am EST.

Those appearances followed several months of high-profile events for Rosario, including performances at CeCe Winans' Always Sisters girls conference and Bishop Eddie Long's Re/Present 2007 youth conference as well as a hosting stint on the Chicago entry of the Gospel Music Channel's "Hometown Gospel" series.

'Joyous Salvation' features production by some of the music industry's most celebrated producers, Aaron Lindsey (Israel Houghton, Martha Munizzi), Fred "Uncle Freddie" Jerkins (Brandy, Virtue) and Chris Rodriguez (Keith Urban, Salvador). Rosario wrote nearly the entire album.

"The writing process on 'Joyous Salvation' was very special for me," she says. "I know I didn't write these songs! They were written by the precious Holy Spirit and I heard them during times of prayer and seeking the Lord."

'Joyous Salvation' is the first project for Rosario since her 2005 release, 'Now More Than Ever/Worship,' which peaked at #4 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart, picking up where her Verity Records debut and mega-hit "More, More, More" left off.
