Super Deluxe (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Super Deluxe is the soundtrack to the 2019 Tamil-language film of the same name, co-written, co-produced and directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja. The album featured 18 instrumental pieces, composed, arranged, produced and programmed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, eventually marking his second collaboration with Kumararaja after Aaranya Kaandam (2011). Unlike, his first film which had no songs, Kumararaja demanded to include a soundtrack having lyrical songs, but later abandoned. This film, eventually marked Yuvan's third musical which did not contain any songs (after Adhu and Aaranya Kaandam). The team, however reused licensed compositions from yesteryear films.

Yuvan, however worked on the film's background score, which was critically acclaimed and fetched him the award for Best Music Director at the 13th edition of Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards (also for Peranbu). On 27 May 2020, Yuvan's own music label, U1 Records, released the album through music streaming platforms, that consisted of instrumental pieces, used in the background; particularly due to the demand for releasing the film score into a separate album. The extended version of the original score were released through non-fungible tokens (NFT).
