    THIS DEFINITELY SAVED 2020. Thank you, Ms. Katy Perry for this masterpiece. You are a wonderful artist and I'm sorry that people keep paying you dust, sweetie. THIS ALBUM HAS NO SKIPS AND PEOPLE SHOULD STOP SLEEPING ON MISS PERRY. AND THAT'S ON PERIOD.

    Just more same-sounding generic pop. KP literally has two songs she sings, and she sings them over and over again, nicely but indistinguishably.

    Un álbum poco conciso, que deja entrever las dificultades que tuvo Katy para su creación, así como la indecisión de su equipo por elegir los sencillos apropiadamente, cosa que no se veía desde ARTPOP, aunque sin ser ambicioso, experimental y polémico.

    "Smile" is the best album by Katy Perry since Teenage Dream (2010). Yours songs is fun, beautiful and power.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the album was very good, there was a balance between sad and happy songs, it had a nice mixtures of lyrics, meaningful and fun lyrics to make us feel happy, vocally the album was very good especially with daisies ( both studio and acoustic versions). Harley's in hawaii had a very chill vibe to it and i wished it was om the radio because it would have a made a great summer chilling vibe, cry about it later and not the end of the world are both very good songs. idk how to explain music but i absolutely adore the album. just because there are bad reviews doesnt mean its not good, people didnt bother giving the album a chance to shine.… Expand

    É um dos melhores trabalhos da Katy, é maduro, é sincero, é divertido, e trata de sentimentos e experiências tão pesados de uma forma tão leve.
    As letras são lindas, tocantes, profundas. Eu me identifiquei muito, cheguei a chorar lendo cada uma, pq eu também ando passando poucas e boas. Obrigado Katy por nos mostrar que ainda há esperança, que um sorriso pode salvar vidas ❤

    Dancing to the Smile
    Better than Prism, I would give an easy 8/10 note, during the whole album only 2 songs don't fit much, with everything like other tracks it has a very well structured passage, it is cohesive and brings a much more mature and reflective Katy, she tries to show that she has gone through ruined moments and that now she can breathe because she has done her best.
    At the    Dancing to the Smile
    Better than Prism, I would give an easy 8/10 note, during the whole album only 2 songs don't fit much, with everything like other tracks it has a very well structured passage, it is cohesive and brings a much more mature and reflective Katy, she tries to show that she has gone through ruined moments and that now she can breathe because she has done her best.
    At the present moment it is all that we need to hear and that we are living. The album brings the 80's and 90's sounds like on the track Cry About Later and Champgne Problems (the guitar resembles the band Pink Floyd), Tucked (remembers a Europop, Kyle Minougue style), but I would say the pop's highlight is to rescue all this "old" influence in a subtle way, that is, it is an album almost on the same level as the teen dream, as songs will not grow old as they are nostalgic and timeless. It builds something solid and beautiful with sonoridases of not so relevant songs from Teenage Dream and One Of the Boys, leaving only to be desired in the Smile track that could easily be replaced by the bonus track High On Your Supply and Not the end of the world that runs away a little bit of the Album's sound context.

    El fin de Katy Perry. Sonidos más de lo mismo, no se atreve a hacer cosas nuevas, a reinventarse. Pensé que me iba a producir una sonrisa por el título del álbum pero no, fue todo lo contrario. Espero algo mejor para la próxima.

    Definitivamente no es su mejor álbum, pero si es un álbum más maduro, el sonido es una mezcla de Teenage dream y prism, pero dejando un poco más a desear.

    A great name for the album, it fits really well, all the songs are like a roller coaster making you feel a lot of emotions from sadness to happiness, every single song inspires a light on our soul that we can't just understand, when you hear the album you end up crying but with a big smile.

    I wanted to like this album and was curious what Katy's sound would be after her being such a strong presence on the musical stage in the last 2 decades. I do enjoy some songs, mostly Daisies but overall the music feels generic and impersonal and I don't see myself going back to it.

    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).
