While Pekkan's disagreements with the company continued, in August 1982 she joined the musical Büyük Kabare with Metin Akpınar and Zeki Alasya.
Süperstar '83, which is almost entirely composed of cover songs, is a pop record in general, but it has jazz, disco and occasional oriental effects.
Şeneş, who wrote all the lyrics alone, worked on the theme of love by drawing a strong female figure and combining it with emotions such as deceit, impossibility and arrogance.
In 1970s, Ajda Pekkan improved her career with her critically acclaimed works and gained reputation by performing songs both in her own language and in French, and organized events such as the Paris Olympia concert which made her known in other countries.
[2] These albums were also released in a period during which Pekkan published cover songs that were usually famous foreign compositions with Turkish lyrics by Fikret Şeneş.
[6] She took part in the contest with the song "Pet'r Oil" and finished 15th, which left her deeply disappointed; the ranking had a shocking effect not only for herself, but also for the circles who were sure she would get a high rating.
Complying with the arabesque music trend that rose in the country, in September 1981, she released the LP record Sen Mutlu Ol from this company.
Finally, she went to the studio and recorded three new songs, and her album Sevdim Seni was edited and republished in March 1983, and her agreement with Yaşar Kekeva Plak ended.
[15][16] In the meantime, rumors were circulating that some of the songs from the musical were to be included in the third installment of the Süperstar album series, which was to be produced by Balet Plak company's owner Yeşil Giresunlu.
As a result, Pekkan put an end to releasing albums under the label Yaşar Kekeva Plak and began working on a number of new cover songs.
In March 1983, as she announced the production of a new musical titled Süperstar Ajda '83,[17] Gündüz Tuna from Milliyet stated that the preparations for Pekkan's new LP record were continuing and it could be released at any time.
Due to these costs, Yeşil Giresunlu described the album's preparation as "one of the trickiest production [processes]" in Turkey to that day.
A month before the album's release, Stewart performed this song at the Sanremo Music Festival 1983, which was live on TRT and captured Şeneş's attention.
The next song "Kader Rüzgârı" was not written for Pekkan and was originally recorded by Sezer Güvenirgil under the name "Anılar Konuşsa" (Mutluluğun Bedeli, 1982).
It's a cover of the song "La Balada Del Pianista" (Escenas de Amor, 1982) by Puerto Rican singer José Feliciano.
[20][23] To catch up with the premiere of the musical Süperstar Ajda '83, the record and cover designing was carried out faster than usual and was completed in 12 days.
[32] The cover of the album's special edition, released in May 2008 as a digipak, was redesigned using Pekkan's Van cat photo on a purple background decorated with stars.
Mazhar Alanson, Fuat Güner and Özkan Uğur trio and Jeyan Erpi appeared on the stage as backing vocalists.
[38] To promote the record, Pekkan gave concerts in different cities including Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Bursa, and performed in various fairs and locations across Turkey.
In August 1983, she performed with this cabaret many times during the İzmir Fair and around 35 thousand tickets were sold for the show every night she appeared on the stage.
Music videos shot for some of the songs in the album were shown to the audience in color, with the country's only official radio and television corporation broadcasting them TRT that year.
[50] The music videos for "Uykusuz Her Gece", "Bir Günah Gibi", "Son Yolcu" and "Düşünme Hiç" featured scenes where Pekkan was shown performing the songs alone.
[51] Later for the Ramadan Feast in July, she performed the songs "Uykusuz Her Gece", "Bir Günah Gibi" and "Son Yolcu" on the same program.
[53] Additionally in December, she appeared on Renk newspaper's 1983 Super Artists award ceremony during which she performed "Uykusuz Her Gece", "Bir Günah Gibi", "Sen ve Ben", "Son Yolcu" and "Sana Doğru".
[54] In the same month, to mark the 1984 New Year's Eve she appeared on a special program by TRT titled Ünlüler Balosu (Celebrities Ball) and performed "Uykusuz Her Gece" and "Bir Günah Gibi".
Hey magazine gave the album a grade of 5/5, appreciating the singer's vocals and the new arrangements of the cover songs made by Garo Mafyan.
In Ajda's [previous] LPs released by other labels, the 'domestic composition, domestic artist' mindset made this mistake bigger and the singer became distanced from the pop source that had created her.
Because of the newly tested 16-channel system, he found the record's sound quality "low enough to [make you] search for the previous albums".
Ajda Pekkan will be the most important person who can wave the pop flag properly while everyone is approaching the arabesque in an open or closed manner.
[59] The newspaper wrote that on this occasion, Pekkan deserved the great acclaim thanks to the musicals Büyük Kabare and Süperstar Ajda '83 and the song "Bir Günah Gibi".
