Sukoon is the debut studio album composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali released under the Saregama label on 30 November 2022. It is Bhansali's maiden stint in non-film music after his compositions for films. The album consisted of nine songs ranging from various genres such as ghazal, semi-classical and Indian folk music. The lyrics were primarily written by A. M. Turaz, Siddharth–Garima and Kumaar, alongside adaptations of poems from Ghalib and Momin Khan Momin.
Since Bhansali's composition debut in Guzaarish (2010), he had expressed his interest to curate a music album which was not conceptualized until the COVID-19 lockdown in India. Bhansali wanted the album to popularize ghazal with the younger generation, resulting in a collaboration of popular artists among different age groups and genres. The album was described by Bhansali as an ode to Lata Mangeshkar and ghazal legends he heard in his childhood.
Sukoon received positive reviews from music critics with praise directed on the composition, instrumentation, setting and soundscape.
