    In my opinion her best album. Many people keep saying it is flat, basic, forgettable and not innovative. In my opinion it's definitely the opposite! Wonderful, from start to finish. I highly recommend everyone to listen to it!

Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes, Not The End Of The Word, Champagne Problems e Tucked me pegaram de jeito. Taca stream na lenda!

    Smile is Katy's most consistent album. There are higher highs on Prism and Teenage Dream, but there is not anything on Smile as low as the lows on the latter either. You can tell Katy picked the best 12 of the ~20 songs she wrote over the past 2 years, leaving little fluff (something Witness suffered from). For the first time in her discography, the track-listing is perfect as the songsSmile is Katy's most consistent album. There are higher highs on Prism and Teenage Dream, but there is not anything on Smile as low as the lows on the latter either. You can tell Katy picked the best 12 of the ~20 songs she wrote over the past 2 years, leaving little fluff (something Witness suffered from). For the first time in her discography, the track-listing is perfect as the songs fit a story arc beginning with brokenness, depression, and drunken nights to suppress emotions and ends with love, redemption, and a new appreciation for life.
    Most of the songs on Smile land just under the 3-minute mark, making this her shortest album. However, none of the songs besides the title track (due to a last minute pull out of Diddy) feel incomplete. All the songs are very much Katy as well, exemplifying her wit and quirk in lyrics without ever dipping too much into the cringe and cheese her past work tended to. The only real misfire is the line about eye crust but it is easy to look past after you remember the 20 lines on Witness that were much weirder. I would argue that Smile is her best written album along with her debut, but One of the Boys might just edge it out a little with the self-written Thinking of You alone.
    Although the title track is one of the weaker songs on the album, the prechorus “But every tear has been a lesson / Rejection can be God’s protection / Long hard road to get that redemption / but no shortcuts to a blessing” are some of the best lines in her catalog, demonstrating growth and maturity and sum up the premise of the whole album.
    Overall, Smile is a great solid pop album that stays relatively upbeat and dance-y throughout. The fillers are slim to none and the best tracks (Cry About It Later, Not The End Of The World, Only Love, and Tucked) are already creeping up as some of the best in her discography; Never Really Over has been there for a while now. The vocals and instrumentations are tightly and finely produced, making it an enjoyable listen that never makes you go “what?!” Critics have been too harsh on Katy, although it was too be expected looking at their opinions on the rest of her albums. Certainly, Smile shows a lot more personality, variety, and musical evolution than some other more acclaimed albums from 2020.

    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.
