    Sin palabras, Katy evoco sus sentimientos, se sincero con sus letras y mostró la recuperación de su estad emocional.

    Smile - A Jornada Para a Cura (?)

    A Katy Perry dividiu seu novo álbum em 4 atos bem distintos e bem definidos pra mim. Terapia, Recuperação, Felicidade, Amor (Verdadeiro). é um álbum delicioso de se ouvir. Mas pesado em letras se vc se identificar demais com esses temas. É mesmo um álbum que mostra alguém que precisou sorrir por fora ao estar sofrendo por dentro. Quando se vê o álbum    Smile - A Jornada Para a Cura (?)

    A Katy Perry dividiu seu novo álbum em 4 atos bem distintos e bem definidos pra mim. Terapia, Recuperação, Felicidade, Amor (Verdadeiro).

    é um álbum delicioso de se ouvir. Mas pesado em letras se vc se identificar demais com esses temas. É mesmo um álbum que mostra alguém que precisou sorrir por fora ao estar sofrendo por dentro. Quando se vê o álbum nesses quatro atos, ele é consistente. Mas, ainda acho que faltou transições entre faixas. Só isso. Uma adição de transição entre os atos pra se tornar mais orgânico

    a mudança de temas das letras e de sonoridade. A voz e as camadas está lindas e por mais irônico que pareça, esse é finalmente o álbum "Dark" da peruca queimada que tanto pediram dela a carreira toda pra mim. Tá nas entrelinhas. Como se fosse uma conversa com violão na mão diante do espelho.

    Witness definitivamente tá tentando ser deixado pra trás eu acho (o registro pop mais injustiçado e subestimado em anos se pá pra mim). Smile me soa como um registro de um periodo de cura, de alguém com algum tipo de depressão/melancolia e seu reencontro de identidade artística. Ele soa como um experimento de sonoridade e imagem tbm. Pra ela testar o que o público mais se conecta (ponto de vista comercial) e ao mesmo tempo parece ser um registro despretensioso total apenas pq quer expor esse período vivido. Cada bloco é BEM diferente entre si. Tenho a teoria de que aquilo que vender melhor, será a aposta de seguimento pra um próximo álbum.

    Não há NADA em Smile que pareça querer brilhar. E não falo em tom pejorativo. Pelo contrário. É um álbum de uma artista que resolveu descansar do combate de números e holofotes e tá mais preocupada em cuidar da voz, testar facetas de si mesma e celebrar uma felicidade familiar. É perceptível que a Califórnia Girls cansou de se sustentar nas nuvens de algodão rosa, e decidiu por os pés no chão, sem holofotes fortes demais. Ela diz em uma das letras, que ela por hora, quer apenas aproveitar o caminho, e não mais competir correndo. Ou seja: que se ela precisar tocar sua música em botecos de madrugada, não há problemas mais agora. Ela não se importa, desde que o que estejam ouvindo, seja bom pra ela. Se brilhar, que bom. Se não, ela tá brilhando sozinho com ela e seus amores verdadeiros.

    Sorrindo e chorando ao mesmo tempo. É bem doido isso. Pq dá pra imaginar real em algumas músicas, ela com a mão na barriga sorrindo e chorando ao mesmo tempo em que canta. Isso é bonito.

    Amei.

    Minhas prediletas = todas. Real haha só a Target que não me desceu. Mas, se for pra hackear:

    Smile/Daisies/Champagne Problems/Teary Eyes/Only Love/Harleys in Hawaii e Cry About It Later.    … Expand

    Katy Perry’s SMILE is an album that tells you stories on how she struggles to find her smile back. If you listen to it closely, on each track, it truly speak to you.

    Production wise, I love that she brings back pop-funky 80-ish vibes for some songs, and then a fun bright production to the acoustic one.

    It’s crazy how Katy Perry surprised us.
    she told that her smile was coming back and you can feel it, she’s a grow woman doing what she wants and talking about problems in the adult life, this life where you can’t sit in a cotton candy and write diaries, but the one where you need to keep moving forward the to light and trying to find yourself the album have four chapters:

    These so called 'critics' need to get their subjective ego's out of the way because this pop record is in the top five albums of the year alongside "Chromatica", "Folklore" & "Future Nostalgia".
    For some reason, critics like to bash Katy ever since she came out. Remember "Teenage Dream"?

    There are NO skips on this record and it is just hit after hit after hit. As you can see, literally no one agrees with these critics because the user score is phenomonal.
    In my opinion, it is her best work since "Teenage Dream" and this feels like a more grown up version of that. Once again, 'critics' have lost all their credibility.    … Expand

    The sixth Katy’s album is a big dance party, with powerful lyrics and an unforgettable melody, it’s divided into four moments of the singer's life and career, beginning with a troubled and insecure life and ending with your self acceptance. It’s a álbum about female freedom. In a macho industry she shows how to reinvent herself, definitely the best album of her career.

    Katy Perry in her Renaissance Era. Foundations of the album are from strength to strength. Healing even in a spiritual sense. Perry is the definition of Pop Music. The length of the project is perfectly crafted. She found the light after the storm. Guess all she got is Champagne Problems now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although critics did not smile at katy Perry's new album, which they use in a personal and sloppy way to criticize the work, note that their point of view falls more on their career than the work delivered by the singer. But speaking of Smile, I think the richness of pop is great, which Katy wanted to stay within her new job. This is not a negative point, it just escapes the trend that great artists are bringing lately. For a pop album, the songs clash in a simple and cheerful way, fun as katy always demonstrates.… Expand

    Pro cego a luz
    Pro arroz o feijão
    Pro Hip o Hop
    Pro Ying o Yang
    Pro mundo sua salvação

    Katy Perry não decepciona e mostra que ao contrario daquela pirralha o album dela e bom e velho e o buraco dela

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I genuinely love it when artists create melancholic songs yet with an upbeat tempo and not to mention the lyrical excellence of the songs this record have. Indeed this is what we all need during these trying times we are experiencing right now, it depicts resiliency and knowing that there is still hope - as what the lyrics of Resilient says " I know there's gotta be rain if I want the rainbows" and "the darker the night, the brighter the stars glow". Great record.… 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).
