Overview
Anegan is the soundtrack album for the 2015 film of the same name, starring Dhanush and directed by K. V. Anand. For the film's soundtrack and score, Anand, roped in his regular collaborator Harris Jayaraj, to compose the music, thus marking Harris' first and only collaboration with Dhanush. The soundtrack album features six tracks, written by Vairamuthu, Kabilan Vairamuthu, Rokesh and C. S. Amudhan. The album was released by Sony Music on 2 November 2014.
Development
In April 2014, Harris recorded a song called "Aathadi Aathadi", which was sung by Bhavatharini and written by Vairamuthu. Later, another song "Roja Kadale" was recorded in May 2014, which was revealed to be an "energetic" track, also written by Vairamuthu and sung by Shankar Mahadevan, who collaborated with Harris after Ghajini (2005). In late June 2014, Harris finished recording a "peppy number", written by director C. S. Amudhan. During the recording of Amudhan's song, K. V. Anand said that the album was in its final stages of recording and that each song would be of a different dimension based on its situation in the film. In August 2014, Harris informed via Twitter that almost all the songs were completed. The music rights were acquired by Sony Music.
Release
The makers initially planned to release the songs in the middle of September 2014 and later on the occasion of Diwali (22 October 2014). However, the makers announced that the film's audio will be released on 2 November 2014. Prior to the release, the album was made available through iTunes on 1 November 2014, and the following day, the audio was launched at the Suryan FM 93.5 Radio Station, in the presence of the film's cast and crew.
