    Great piece of music, she’s telling her story, she’s explaining how she made it through the other side. The songs in the album are sorted to represent the phases she rub into. The first with sadness and tears, then how to heal from what hurt you and finally how to celebrate the journey. I’m really thankful (scratch that, I’m grateful) for this album!

    Katy is a pop powerhouse, there is no doubt about that, but this album is the future of “poptimism”. It’s packed with her unique style of hiding deep themes under cryptic “bubblegum “ lyrics. It’s clearly on the other side of the spectrum compared to Witness, but it feels like there is more depth and cohesiveness between lyrics and sound. Miss Perry did it again!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile com certeza, ao contrário do que a crítica (que se diz especializada mas na verdade parece ter um certa implicância com a cantora) é um album incrível, onde todas as músicas apresentam grande potencial para serem singles. Nesse album Katy se entrega e mostra toda a sua fragilidade, narrando a busca pela recuperação de seu sorriso que havia sido perdido após a era Witness. Never Really Over abre o album perfeitamente sendo uma das melhores músicas já lançadas pela Katy, em seguida vem Cry About It Later que é um batidão com uma guitarra que acaba dando um charme no bridge e logo após temos Teary Eyes completando a trindade de bop's do album... essa é simplesmente linda e contagiante. Seguimos com Daises e Resilient com vocais poderosos e mensagens tão poderosas quanto. Not The End Of The é um hit pronto que parece ser uma filha de Dark Horse com Black Widow. Smile é algo bem próximo da clássica Katy que conhecemos. Champagne Problems e Tucked têm uma pegada mais retrô que combina muito com a cantora... são músicas extremamente radiofônicas e são muito boas em seu contexto todo. Harleys In Hawaii é uma música suave com a vibe bem gostosa, enquanto Only Love tem uma letra linda e arrepiante e What Makes a Woman fecha o album perfeitamente com a Katy finalmente se reconhecendo, superando e encontrando o que a faz feliz. É um album muito bem produzido e com hits dentro, mas que além disso passa uma mensagem linda de superação, perseverança e resiliência. Talvez seja o melhor album da cantora até o momento ou talvez só perca para o lendário Teenage Dream. Talvez daqui alguns anos os críticos reconheçam isso, como sempre acontece com os trabalhos anteriores de Perry, mas o fato é que isso não altera em nada a qualidade do album e nem quebra a mensagem passada.

This record utilises the art of self-reflection and acceptance of the not-so-perfect world, yet still finding a fraction of hope to cling on to when on the playing field, combined with frothy pop production and streamlined lyricism; you get a token of faith and optimism to serve as a reminder in trying times.

    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.
  3. Aug 31, 2020

    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).
