    This is a really fun album! Literally not skips!
    Her best album (and it’s hard for me to tell that cuz I love all her albums). Wish critics focused more on the album and not in her bad thoughts about her.

    Anyway stream/buy/dance it

    This album is really diverse. It has songs that you want to dance to songs you want to cry. I am so happy that she has come back.

    Solo 2 canciones son rescatables, el resto a pesar de una excelente letra no genera esa emoción que sus trabajos anteriores, sin duda Katy perdió la chispa que la caracterizaba :( una lástima que haya perdido el rumbo y no haya sabido evolucionar

    Lo que sucede con Katy Perry es que no se arriesga, no trata de innovar, letras y sonidos repetitivos, pareciera un álbum de una cantante joven que apenas va a debutar en la industria musical. Dos o tres canciones salvan el álbum.

    Es el mejor álbum de este año, cumplió más allá de mis expectativas. Me siento demasiado feliz porque al fin ella es feliz, con el mejor regalo que le dió la vida, su hermosa bebe Daisy Dove Bloom. Es un orgullo poder escuchar tan magníficas canciones. Mis favoritas Cry About It Later y Not the End of the Word. ❤️

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A good album, yet it lacks consistency and Katy once again falls into clichés and cringey lyrics. The production is top notch tho. Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes, Not the End of The World and Tucked are definetly the album highlights.… Expand

    Katy perry nunca teve qualidade mesmo, não é atoa que a discografia inteira é amarelada, além disso não tem prêmios relevantes e nem muito talento, ainda bem que ela percebeu isso e foi apostar na vida familiar. A coitada só tinha os charts pra se orgulhar e hoje em dia nem debuta mais, eu tenho dó dos fãs que ficam passando vergonha no twitter tentando defender essa bomba

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile, uno de los álbumes más esperadoa del año, aunque los singles que se lanzaron no fueron los adecuados para comenzar la era, sin duda Perry logró engañarnos, aunque wl único problema de Smile reside en su duración, el viaje en el que te envuelve es asombroso, una dosis de pop puro, que logra atraparte, todo el álbum es lo que estábamos esperando este año. Never Really Over no pudo ser más perfecta para el intro de este álbum, pasando por un dance pop perfecto con Teary Eyes y la que parece ser la favorita del álbum "Cry Abaut A Later, y un sin fin de música que nos demuestra el proceso de sanación perry tuvo que recorrer para reencontrarse. Asi pues, dejando el lado las críticas maliciosas de los descarados "Críticos Profesionales"(como se hacen llamar), Katy Perry ha evolucionado y nos demuestra nuevamente que ella es el Pop. Y el que independientemente tenga éxito o no, ha creado el mejor album del 2020. A los críticos puedo recomendarles que sean profesionales y analicen cada una de las canciones y sus mensajes así como sus ritmos, porque yo no me creo sus críticas disfrazadas de misoginia y odio por Katy Perry.

    El album es simplemente PERFECTO.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1. NEVER REALLY OVER.- canción con potencial, me recuerda a la época de Teenage Dream. Sin embargo me parece un poco mal calculado para ser la canción que abra el disco, yo la habría puesto para cerrar. Empieza un poco de golpe y me hace pensar que solo es una compilación de canciones al azar nada mas. Error en detalles pero linda canción. TOP
    2.- CRY ABOUT IT LATER.- entiendo la relación con Smile y el hecho de que el álbum haya sido terapéutico para Katy pero me parece un poco pobre en letras. Musicalmente si me parece una mezcla equilibrada entre Pop dance y melancolía pero no es una canción muy recordable. El coro me parece demasiado sencillo. NEXT.
    3.- TEARY EYES.- AHORA SI esta si me gustó mas. Sigue con el concepto del anterior track pero melódicamente mejor trabajada. Al llegar al coro puedes sentir la profundidad de "just keep on dancing with those teary eyes". ¿Potencial como sencillo? no mucho pero es algo que escucharía fuera del disco. TOP
    4.- DAISIES.- En cuanto a letra y melodía no tiene nada que desear. Mantenemos la onda pop nostálgico - terapéutico. Como parte del disco suena bastante bien pero a pesar de sencillo no me parece el gran trabajo como para ser exitazo. Bien pero hasta ahí. NEXT
    5.- RESILIENT.- No estoy muy conforme con la melodía del coro pero linda letra. Me hace recuerdo un poco a Fireworks en cuanto a composición. En general me parece tierna pero un poco aburrida. No la escucharía de nuevo. NEXT
    6.- NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.- Me suena a la versión depresiva de Dark Horse y una muy buena adaptación! Lo único que le cambiaría un beat un poco mas agresivo al terminar el coro. Por fuera de eso MI FAVORITA DEL DISCO HASTA AHORA! DEFINITIVAMENTE DEBE SER SENCILLO. TOP
    7.- SMILE.- De nuevo la escucho similar a anteriores trabajos es un poco como la fórmula KP. Pop fresco ya no tan melancólico en la melodía. Me parece buena opcion como sencillo porque es bastante pegajosa. No es LA GRAN CANCION pero no es mala tampoco. MEH
    8.- CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS.- Buena producción de sonido. Me gusta porque es como una canción personal pero no llega a sonar tan depresiva como anteriores. De nuevo dentro del disco me gusta pero no creo que pueda triunfar en un general public. De todos modos creo que tiene potencial como sencillo. NEXT
    9.- TUCKED.- Me gusta mucho más! la guitarra de fondo me da una vibra de One Of The Boys y me encanta. Melodía genial. Letra en su punto. De nuevo creo que tiene potencial para sencillo pero no uno sobresaliente. En general me gusta. TOP
    10.- HARLEYS IN HAWAIi.- Sale del esquema de catarsis del álbum pero musicalmente le da el toque que necesitaba. Como sencillo me parece una buena canción que con la promoción correcta podría haber tenido mas éxito. De nuevo no es un sencillo sobresaliente como lo que conociamos de Katy pero no es una cancion para nada mala. TOP
    11.- ONLY LOVE.- Linda balada. Me suena un poco a Zedd o Chainsmokers. Podria haber sido una linda colaboracion. De nuevo, linda cancion con potencial para sencillo pero necesitamos sencillos sobresalientes por ahora, tal ves para cerrar la era. En general bien no mas. NEXT
    12.- WHAT MAKES A WOMAN.- Otra balada, esta vez un poco mas profunda pero aun al estio Katy. Melódicamente me suena bastante similar a The Climb de Miley Cyrus. En general linda cancion pero me parece mas para los fans que para un publico en general. NEXT

    EN GENERAL: No es el comeback de Katy que todos esperábamos. Tiene canciones con potencial de sencillo pero son sencillos en calidad Witness no mas. Lo cohesivo del álbum se siente relativamente pero más que todo en las letras. Le doy un plus por el arte (fanmade). Sin embargo no me parece un trabajo muy bien pensado, sino mas como un álbum personal, de catarsis, un poco desesperado por lanzar algo y para complacer a sus fans y que puedan compartir con ella este momento en su vida. Además que solo contiene 8 canciones nuevas (4 ya las conociamos). Quedo un poco corto. Definitivamente no es un álbum que volvería a escuchar. Sorry Katy    … Expand

    When you read such negative reviews, you trust that they are right, but when you listen to the full album, you are shocked because they are wrong, it is personal. The album is the best work by Katy Perry since PRISM. It's the album I needed this year, it's the album we all should listen to. Talking about forgiveness, improvement, empowerment, happiness and resilience is just perfect.

    Un artista si no se reinventa no tendrá éxito no lo escuchen es irrelevante.

    I simply love it. The songs are amazing and I’m so happy for her and I love the album. Every song has it own power and I might reflect myself in some of the songs.

    Katy Perry finally back her smile and her essence, something that few artists manage to do. Although some sounds remind us of Teenage Dream, which is her best album in my opinion, it does not mean that she is giving us the same old thing. She preserves her pop nuances and gives us a mature album that brings us musical gems such as Never Really Over, Cry About It Later, Daisies, Not The EndKaty Perry finally back her smile and her essence, something that few artists manage to do.

She preserves her pop nuances and gives us a mature album that brings us musical gems such as Never Really Over, Cry About It Later, Daisies, Not The End Of The World, Champagne Problems, etc. She has given the best of herself in this new era and even if she does not receive all the recognition she deserves, she has already rewarded herself, forming a beautiful family with the arrival of her newborn and also releasing music with which she feels comfortable that is not just any music since it is music therapy that helps us recover from many sad moments and finally smile.… Expand

    It’s one of the best produced and written album of the year. It’s a ray of hope and resilience during this trying time.

    Poor album, poor artist. Katy is a limited thing. This is sad. She just can't do something with quality.

    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).
