    Me encanta el ritmo de las canciones, muy frescas, los 80’s son los nuevos 20’s. Asimismo las letras son muy buenas. Mis favoritas: Champagne Problems, Harleys in Hawaii, What Makes a Woman & Never Really Over.

    Katy Perry made a pop perfection, proved us once again, that she can, in fact, still make an amazing pop record. Smile proves it. Relatable lyrics, fun production. 10/10

    This is what I call quality! Katy Perry went back to her Teenage Dream's roots, as she should have done with Witness. She nailed it

    I love all the songs of this album. The album starts with “I’m losing my self control” and it ends with “there it is, katheryn”. It brings me an idea of the jouney that she passed in the last two years find her smile back. My favorite songs are “cry about it later” and “one love”. I hope people listen to this album and like it

    One of Katy's best works since the beginning of her carrier, and one of the most meaningful albums ever! I'm so glad she finally found her true smile with this record, and she managed to transfer that energy and that smile on to us, her fans and listeners.

    Katy Perry’s smile is back in this album with great taste and a good sense of humor. The production is flawless and it sounds perfect for a pop artist. ''Teary eyes'' is a fresh song with that electro tunes and ''Daisies'' is a empowerment song that teach us the power that women can have.

    low expectations, but happy for her.
    The album brought the good Pop, however, remained the same. Better than the previous one, in fact.
    Kary Perry remains an extraordinary artist, and knows the formula for success. Seeing her keep trying even after the whole attack is inspiring.

    Definitivamente Katy Perry nos está uno de los mejores álbumes de su carrera, todas sus canciones fácilmente se pueden convertir en hits, lo triste es que la crítica la odia, pero no todo es malo, ella vive de sus fans y de las personas que les gusta su música, no de los críticos, que al parecer tienen mierd***a en los oídos de escuchar tanta Chromatica.

    So the thing about Smile is that it's not a bad album by any means, hence why I don't really understand the poor reviews it's been receiving. In my opinion, it is a solid collection of fun pop songs that are bound to make you sing along and hum the melodies throughout the day.

In my opinion, it is a solid collection of fun pop songs that are bound to make you sing along and hum the melodies throughout the day. Katy has obviously learned a few lessons from the disastrous 'Witness' and she didn't mix woke politics with music this time around; the producers and songwriters she collaborated with on Smile are also a step up from those on Witness since the entire album sounds very cohesive and well-produced. Some of my favorite moments on the album came in the form of "Teary Eyes," "Cry About It Later," and "Never Really Over" -- all of which are quite reminiscent of the Teenage Dream era, and a reminder why Katy is still a force to be reckoned with in the pop world. Besides the familiar Katy Perry sound, you'll also see/hear Katy exploring some new territories, most notably on "Harleys in Hawaii" which has become somewhat of a fan favorite due to how underrated it is. However, for the majority of the album -- Katy seems to stick to what works for her and I don't really see a problem with that. The only bone to pick I have with the album is how messy and all over the place the promotional cycle had been with Katy releasing too many singles before the album came out, so the element of surprise was greatly reduced for me as I was already familiar with like 35% of the album. Also, some of the singles were just not good single choices, e.g. "Daisies" and "Smile" are ok album tracks, but they're most certainly not strong single material.… Expand

El album comienza bien, pero el mismo llega a tener errores, pero los mismos no hacen malo al album, tal vez no sea perfecto el mismo, pero es agradable al escucharse. Por ejemplo el album llega a tener momentos cumbres como HIH, CP, NRO, etc, siendo estas canciones muy frescas y muy bien producidas. Pero el album tambien tiene momentos malos como Resilient donde la voz y el ritmo no van de acuerdo a lo que la canción trata de transmitir. Por otra parte mejora los ritmos a comparación de su anterior album "Witness".

The album is one of the only albums this year that actually tells a story, the plot of the songs have meaning. This album is about Katy’s experience during the hardest years of her personal and career life and how she was able to come out of it and truly smile again. Tracks like “Cry About It Later” and “Teary Eyes” help unfold the first act of the album which shows her dealing with unhappiness but having to keep going for her career and well-being and just trying to ignore her sadness. The second act of the album is opened by her iTunes number one single “Daisies” and track 5 on the album “Resilient”. These songs are the empowerment stories of the album. Resilient explains Katy’s way of pushing back the hate and hard times she’s experienced and ultimately being resilient and pushing through to grow through the cracks that have hurt her. “I know the higher I climb, the harder the wind blows” is a lyric from Resilient and is explaining that when you reach your peak, is when life hits you the hardest. This is the middle of the album because Katy is past the sadness and she is using all her confidence and strength to push through to find her happiness again. Finally, Act III of the album is introduced by the title track “Smile”. The song is about how Katy got her smile back and that she’s grateful for her life. During the third act, we experience a release of pop bangers such as “Tucked” and “Only Love” that introduce the most pop-sounding and happy songs on the album. This album is outstanding in the way the songs are listed and structured to tell a specific story which is really hard to pull of and yet, Perry pulls it off again.… Expand

    Perfeita! O melhor álbum da Katy Perry. Os críticos estão loucos!
    "Cry about it later" é um dos melhores momentos do cd. Para mim a trindade é "Teary Eyes", "Cry about it Later" e "Not the end of the World".

    The Smile Album has a good sound proposal to bring joy and less hatred, and is proving it through the critics who are trying at all costs to destroy the singer's reputation, because for them she will never be good enough to evolve, it gets to be sick and wicked with a pop star with more than 11 years of career.

    En verdad es un álbum muy fresco divertido, tiene canciones muy buenas... Cada una de ellas transmite un mensaje de paz, amor, armonía y de como recuperar la sonrisa después de perderla. Excelentes sonidos y las letras hermosas.
    Katy se ha convertido en una de las artistas pop actuales que tiene una conexión muy fuerte con sus fans

O álbum 'Smile' nos mostra essa jornada para encontrar a luz no final do túnel, com 'Never Really Over' ela inicia essa jornada 'I'm losing my self control' perdendo seu auto controle e finaliza o álbum com What makes a Woman 'There is, Ketheryn' mostrando quem é Ketheryn, uma cantora, mãe e mulher, que sobreviveu a tempos de caos e saiu disso triunfantemente.… Expand

    Um álbum incrível, sincero e do coração. Katy traz total verdade do que sente em suas letras e a arte vem de dentro pra fora. Além disso, o álbum conta uma história de forma coesa como nunca visto em nenhum lugar. A sonoridade também conversa com cada fase dessa história, o que torna a experiência de ouvi-lo incrível!

Her impeccable production and lyricism is always on point and DA don't know why other critics don't appreciate her that much, like are they deaf or sumn or just attacking her personally. Perry literally bloom right through the cracks, her vocals for each song are also present, it can either levitate us through the rainbows or blow us like Daisies blown by air in Himalayas. To wrap it up, Smile is her best album to date, a contender for AOTY at Grammys (but they're trash so...) nevertheless, this album deserves more. Katheryn Elizabeth Bloom is here.    … Expand

Katy Perry did fed us with the real nature of showing Smile with her different stories of love, inspiration and life imperfections. Very incomparable with Teenage Dream & Prism. Its not a Pop Music Alnum, but full of elemental tracks. This is truly a POP PERFECTION of 2020. Tasteless reviews from those paparazzis are not true. The Queen here is really back!! Imagine Katy Perry is pregnant and manage to work really hard to show this masterpiece. Such a hardworking woman and dedicated artist. KatyCats are really lucky stanning Katy Perry.… Expand

    Without fleeting moments of bad taste, Perry does indeed sound mature, but she's also not quite as fun. That's a conscious choice, though. Smile is intended to evoke memories of her frivolous younger days while pointing toward a sustainable pop future.

    While Perry finds the occasional moment of quality here (Smile and Tucked both feel like the best possible music we could get from Katy Perry in 2020), Smile is an album searching for an identity—and when it fails, it falls back on lazy writing.

    Like Joanne before Chromatica, Smile plays like a necessary centering exercise, indulging her insecurities and less surefire instincts. If Witness was overdetermined, Smile is an earnest exhale, for better or for worse. It delivers an image of her journey towards inner peace that is honest (if corny) and catchy (if not exactly inventive).
