    I really don't understand what is wrong with being yourself, we are all free to express what we feel, Katy Perry with Smile tells us that there are more reasons to laugh than to cry, that it is never too late to start over, but above all, that with a smile life is better. 10/10 Love U Katy, thanks for this masterpiece, for another Bible ❤️

    This is the worst album I’ve heard this year. I can’t believe it’s from Katy Perry who had ever made “Prism ”.As the NME said : “ It isn’t even that the songs are bad – it’s worse than that: they’re largely forgettable.”

    Highlights of the album: Never Really Over, Only Love, Not the End of the World, Cry About It Later
    KP5 aka Smile is, unexpectedly, her best work yet. Unexpectedly is the key word when describing Smile. While there are definitely tracks that sound very familiar with her previous work (for example, Not the End of the World, the younger sister of Dark Horse and Black Widow) Smile sounds like a brand new Katy Perry, like the story of how Katheryn Hudson was so close to lose herself during and after the Witness era, a very misunderstood and mistreated musical moment in its own right, and rebuilt herself brick by brick. Never Really Over, Cry About It Later and Teary Eyes are the first chapter of the story. Pure pop bops each carrying the message of never being over, of taking a break for the sake of your mental health, and face the darkness with teary eyes. The second chapter-Daisies, Resilient and Not the End of the World-is about self-confidence, resilience, strength, and healing. The third chapter-Smile, Champagne Problems, Tucked and Harleys in Hawaii-marks the regain of happiness and love. And finally, the fourth chapter-Only Love and What Makes a Woman-is perhaps the best closing of any of her albums. There's Katheryn Hudson, a woman full of love and without any regrets. In the closing track of One of the Boys, she stated that she will leave her fingerprints, and even though her journey was not like the movies, as she struggled to not let love take her out that way, she still found someone to share her intimacy with, and with Smile, she reached a new peak.

Fora isso, temos a coesão entre as faixas, novamente KP vai nos fornecer uma nova era completada. Sobre Cry About It Later: "Às vezes é foda entender que você não tem controle sobre certas situações e você não pode fazer nada, mas quando o coração aperta você sente que está perdendo o seu lugar e você também precisa correr para não deixar o seu humor deprimir novamente".

    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.

    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).
