Review by Donnovan Lee

Storm En Regen by Paul Severs: A Timeless Dutch Pop Gem That Still Hits Home If you’re a sucker for raw, heartfelt vocals wrapped in 70s pop vibes, Storm En Regen by Paul Severs is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. Released back in 1971 under the CBS label, this Dutch classic doesn’t just sit quietly—it grabs your attention and makes you feel something real. It’s not perfect, but maybe that’s why it sticks. Let’s talk tracks. “Oh Oh Kleine Vlinder” kicks things off with this sweet innocence, like catching a butterfly mid-flight without squishing its wings. The melody feels so simple, yet there’s this emotional tug to it, almost like watching childhood memories flicker across an old projector. You can tell Johan de Graeve (who wrote most of the album) poured his soul into this one. And then there’s “De Meisjes Van De Haven”—oh man, this tune smacks differently. It’s got this gritty edge, painting pictures of harbor life and tough love. Every time I hear it, I imagine myself strolling along some foggy pier at dawn, cigarette dangling from my lips, lost in thought. Yeah, dramatic, I know—but hey, isn’t music supposed to take you somewhere? What stands out about Storm En Regen is how human it feels. These aren’t shiny, overproduced hits; they’re stories sung straight from the chest. Tracks like “Vaarwel En Tot Weerziens” hit hard because, well, who hasn’t had to say goodbye and mean it? The lyrics don’t try too hard—they let the emotion do the heavy lifting. Same goes for “Ween Niet Mama,” which pulls zero punches when it comes to tugging at heartstrings. It’s messy, honest, and kinda beautiful all at once. Paul Severs himself brings this unpolished charm to the table. His voice cracks sometimes, wavers others—but dang if it doesn’t sound authentic. He’s backed by some killer credits too, including Eddy Govert and Merez, whose writing chops shine through even after five decades. Jan Theys adds his magic touch to “Ieder Mens,” making it one of those songs you hum long after the record stops spinning. Here’s the thing: listening to Storm En Regen feels like flipping through someone’s worn-out photo album. It’s nostalgic, even if you weren’t around in ’71. Sure, the production might feel dated compared to today’s standards, but isn’t that part of its charm? This album reminds us that music doesn’t need bells and whistles to leave a mark—it just needs truth. And now for the random thought that popped into my head while writing this: If Storm En Regen were a person, it’d probably be that quirky uncle who tells oddball stories at family gatherings but somehow always leaves you smiling. So go ahead, give it a spin—you won’t regret letting these stormy tunes wash over you.
