Review by Johnny Anthon Wichmann

Alright, let’s dive into this gem of an album—Golden Hits by Percy Faith. If you’re into music that feels like a warm hug or a stroll through old Hollywood, this is your jam. It’s one of those records where the mood just washes over you, and before you know it, you're lost in its charm. First off, the genre here is Stage & Screen, which makes perfect sense because this album feels like the soundtrack to some dreamy black-and-white movie you never knew you needed. The style leans heavily on themes, and man, does Percy Faith nail it with his orchestra. Speaking of which, can we take a moment to appreciate how smooth this guy was? Leading his orchestra like a maestro with a paintbrush, he crafted soundscapes that stick to your soul. Now, let’s talk tracks. “The Theme From A Summer Place” hits different. Like, really different. There’s something about the way the strings swell—it’s not just music; it’s nostalgia bottled up in three minutes. You don’t even need to have seen the movie (I haven’t) to feel all the emotions it pulls out of you. It's soft but powerful, kinda like remembering a summer fling that ended too soon. Every note feels deliberate, yet effortless, if that makes sense. Honestly, I could loop this track forever without getting tired of it. Then there’s “Delicado.” Oh man, this one sneaks up on you. At first, it’s playful, almost teasing, but then it builds into this lush, romantic vibe that sweeps you off your feet. It’s impossible not to imagine swirling around in a fancy ballroom while this plays in the background. It’s got this timeless quality, like it belongs in any era, including right now as I sit here typing away with headphones on. One thing I gotta mention—the Netherlands connection is wild! Who would’ve thought such elegant orchestral magic came out of Philips Label over there? Feels kind of cool knowing this record traveled across oceans to land in my playlist decades later. Reflecting on Golden Hits, I can’t help but think how rare it is for music to make you feel so much without saying a word. These aren’t songs with lyrics you can sing along to—they’re stories told purely through melody. And honestly, isn’t that what great art should do? Make you feel more human? Unexpected remark: Listening to this album made me realize how badly I need to dust off my grandparents’ old record player. Music like this deserves vinyl crackles and pops—it’s part of the experience. So yeah, thanks, Percy Faith, for reminding me life’s better when it’s set to an orchestral theme.
