    Sinceramente, uno de sus mejores álbumes hasta ahora. La letra es cautivadora y profunda: Katy habla de su peor época, mientras baila y se ríe. Eso es exactamente lo que esperaba de ella.

    Opening the album with a therapeutic boop, Katy Perry brings us one of the best albums released in 2020 and overall. Despite not having released the best tracks as singles with music video, Katy uses that choice as the main concept of the album, where it leads us to recover our smile.

    Tracks like Cry About It Later and Teary Eyes they completely take us back to the eras of the 2000s. Champagne Problems and Tucked transport us back to their hit era Teenage Dream with Witness influences.

    And to close the album, he leaves us a moment of family reflection with Only Love, and a perfect ending with What Makes a Woman, with folk influences, sounding like an end to this album, but a start for KP6.    … Expand

    Smile is the sixth studio album by American singer Katy Perry. It was released on August 28, 2020, by Capitol Records, three years after its predecessor Witness (2017). Perry described Smile as her "journey towards the light, with stories of resilience, hope, and love". Musically a pop album, Smile largely deals with themes of self-help and empowerment.

    Although some songs are okay, there is no cohesion as an album itself. It looks like the super star Katy Perry used to be in the past, it's not going to have a impact in pop culture if she continues this way. However, "Tucked" "Cry About Later" and "Harley's In Hawaii" are exceptions.

    Perfect. Katy Perry looks like a genius. An album very sensitive, personal and emotional. Loved it.

    Cry it about it later is the song that could save this album. Katty Perry as a legend has influenced the pop music with colorful videos, an amazing production and hopelly song lyrics. Unfortunately she got down into a cliché and like she chose disposable songs from her previous albums to put in here.

    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).
