Paramount Sessions features Adam and singer Steve Cooke reinterpreting 10 ballads apiece and a preview of the album has hit YouTube. The CD is the source of some controversy, as Adam has openly spoken against its existence, saying the release comes as a surprise to him and that the songs are unfinished tracks from five years ago.

"It is NOT what I'm currently working on, nor does it reflect my artistic vision. Some folks will do anything to make a buck," he Tweeted.
