Christian music artist Jordan Feliz released his first full album "The River" in the beginning of the second quarter in 2016.

"The River," Jordan Feliz's debut album, is steadily climbing the top of the Billboard Christian Album chart, as it settles at No. 4. Meanwhile, the carrier single with the same title is already at No. 9 on the AC Monitored chart after ten weeks at the apex.

His other single, "Never Too Far Gone," is also slowly rising in the charts as it's now at No. 21 on the Billboard's National Audience chart. It's expected to climb some more as the song is already getting steady radio play.

Steve Ford, general manager of Centricity Music, said in a press release that they are very excited about the reception to the debut album by Jordan Feliz.

"For a brand new artist to have his debut single hit No. 1 and then have his album enter the Billboard chart in the Top 5 is amazing," he said. "We truly believe God has something special in store for Jordan and cannot wait to see where he leads us. What a start to his journey!"

Jordan Feliz, for his part, told The Digital Breakground, that his biggest inspirations for "The River" were One Republic and For King & Country.

"I have a lot of older bands as influences, like I grew up listening to Bill Withers, Sam Cooke, The Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire. So, a lot of those played a huge inspirational role in the writing of the record," he said.

Jordan Feliz is on the tail-end of the "Beautiful Offerings Tour 2016," along with Big Daddy Weave, which will conclude by the end of this month. This summer, he will go on the road again for Spirit West Coast, Creation Festival Northeast and Northwest, Powerlight, FreedomFest and others.
