سامي يوسف
Sami Yusuf claimed that this album was released without his prior "blessings nor consent." He stated: "I therefore wish to make it perfectly clear that an album any such recordings could only be put on to the market against my wishes and without my approval." Yusuf subsequently stated on his website that the album was released without his knowledge or consent, and is a compilation of demos and sketches with a quality inferior to his standards. He has called for fans to boycott it. However, as of April 2009, Awakening Records continues to feature the album prominently on the Sami Yusuf part of its website, saying that the album is "a complete and high quality album" consisting of "11 professionally recorded tracks", and that "Sami Yusuf is signed exclusively to Awakening Records for five albums." The contractual dispute lasting from 2008 to 2009 lead to Yusuf legally separating from Awakening Records, completely disowning this album, and claiming that "Wherever You Are" released with ETM International is his real third album.
