A whole bop, from beginning to end it’s got all the right elements, I also think it’s time we re-evaluate who we actually listen to as far as critics go, I feel like all these old critics are holding on to an old style, and an old formula that is no longer main stream.… Expand

    A lot of people says the songs in here are just forgettable, maybe, they have Alzheimer's disease. There's no formula that's proven to make music a must-listen. Music depends on the work of the artist and to whom they dedicate it. Just like Camilla's words on her Havana music video, "if you don't like my story, go write your own!"

So again if you don't like the artwork just keep your m*therf*cking mouth shut up! Thank you have a nice day and keep safe during this pandemic♥️

    Extremely good album, a happy album to cheer you up during the pandemic. My personal favourite would be cry about it later, harleys in hawaii and not the end of the world. The way all of the songs are positive and it makes u feel good. The production is well done too and the lyrics are definitely heartfelt. An album does not need to be “deep” to be good.

    Following the lukewarm response to her previous 'Witness' album, and a bandwagon of hate in response to her *cutting her hair* (yes, people are sadly that wavering), Katy Perry found herself in a deep depression. 'Smile' (album) is a joyous rebirth for Perry, who documents her struggles in the 12 emotional tracks. It's important to note that the songs are organized in little vignettesFollowing the lukewarm response to her previous 'Witness' album, and a bandwagon of hate in response to her *cutting her hair* (yes, people are sadly that wavering), Katy Perry found herself in a deep depression. 'Smile' (album) is a joyous rebirth for Perry, who documents her struggles in the 12 emotional tracks. It's important to note that the songs are organized in little vignettes dedicated to the different progressive emotions she faced as she came out of the depression. (and each also ironically begins with a single that prepares you for the songs that follow, with similar sounds to them)

    They are:

    - Pain / Denial
    1. Never Really Over, 2. Cry About It Later, 3. Teary Eyes

    - Finding Ones' Self & Changing Perspective
    4. Daisies, 5. Resilient, 6. Not The End Of The World

    - Finding Happiness
    7. Smile, 8. Champagne Problems, 9. Tucked

    - Self Confidence & Love
    10. Harleys In Hawaii, 11. Only Love, 12. What Makes A Woman

    In the first vignette, she brings club beats in an attempt to almost be ironic to how she's feeling. Almost as if to say, put the feelings on pause, and the bop on play. It's the kind of music you'll wanna cry to as you're dancing, as you feel the lyrics resonate with your own personal situation.

    The second vignette shows a more vulnerable Perry, from the melancholy 'Daisies', to the self reflection in 'Resilient'. This doesn't seem as apparent with 'Not the End of the World' UNTIL you pay attention to the mention of "flipping off the flop, now I just enjoy the ride". It's the type of self-reflection that you don't find with most artists- acknowledging and almost mocking it. To be brief, NTEOTW is a badass song in general. I digress.

    Third, we get a turn-around in lyrical content. Katy’s tone is more hopeful, happy, and sounds more along the lines of the Katy we’ve come to know and love. At this point, our girl is back to feeling like herself and we’re happy to hear it.

    Lastly, we’ve come to Perry at her most confident and happy. While ‘Harleys in Hawaii’ is a calm departure, Only Love and What Makes A Woman are truly statements on life and outward thinking. Both are important moments— not only in this album’s progression, but in Katy’s discography overall.

    To end this review, Katy Perry took a moment that would be difficult for anyone to go through (not to mention the fact that she’s in front of millions of people as it happens) and came out of the other side a better version of herself. This shows not only in her newfound bliss and serenity, but in the powerful messages in every one of the songs on this album.

    It’s an album she should be proud of. It’s a defining moment in her career.
    I hope that wherever she is right now, whatever she’s doing— that she’s Smiling.    … Expand

    Katy Perry stayed in her pop she knows how to do. The storyline behind the album is so well-thought.

    Katy Perry backed to classic pop. It's cool to enjoy the songs from the album so as to get energy and optimism to live further and just smile. To me, it's vital to listen to today. Thanks, Katherine, you're gorgeous!

    An album that marked a rebirth, you feel this rebirth. With sounds that take up the old albums but also of experimentation

    It's Katy's best album so far. It's about self-help and I believe that she released it at the right time since everyone needs something just like this. An album full of hope, happiness and love. A 10/10 for this one. #Smile.

    Smile is a reborn for Katy Perry.
    Every single song sounds good and there’s no filler. Masterpieces of the album Only Love and Teary Eyes. Congratulation Katy, back as you never leave!

    This album is just what we needed, in the middle of this pandemic when we all are done with the bad news, we just want to dance, sing, and smile, an that's what this album exactly makes us do. Katy Perry did it again, this album is full with hits, I love this album, every song makes you dance since the first second.

    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).
