    Esse com certeza é um dos melhores álbuns de toda a carreira da Katy , ela conseguiu entregar um álbum atual nostálgico e ao mesmo tempo com músicas que vão de baladinhas a electro pop.
    E o conceito de fazer as pessoas sorrirem realmente deu muito certo

    Em momento de angústia Katy Perry consegue, através de diversos ritmos, trazer paz e esperança. Juntando a animação das músicas com suas respectivas mensagens, podemos dizer que "Smile" entra na lista dos melhores álbuns do ano, junto a "Folklore" de Taylor Swift, "Chromatica" de Lady Gaga e "After Hours" de The Weekend. Congratulations to Katy and let's Smile!

    You need to be serious and a grown person to review an album that express the lost of the smile, how you lose control over things that will always happen, then you jump into your mind to find yourself, you know love and you don't even realize, then, when you least expect it, you are in love, you just get your smile back, in Katy's case, she's now a mom, living her best life with herYou need to be serious and a grown person to review an album that express the lost of the smile, how you lose control over things that will always happen, then you jump into your mind to find yourself, you know love and you don't even realize, then, when you least expect it, you are in love, you just get your smile back, in Katy's case, she's now a mom, living her best life with her fiancé,she ends the album with "There it is, Katheryn" and i don't think "critics" know what that means.

    my thoughts abt every song on Smile:
    - never really over and daisies, chef kisses. been loving it from the first few seconds. must try 10/10
    - teary eyes has a really nice tune especially the chrorus, gives me disco vibe! 8/10
    - what makes a woman is absolutely lovely, inspiring and endearing. just pure emotions 9.5/10 - cry about it later isn’t my cup of tea at first but it’s definitely a grower 7/10
    - resilient, rise’s sister. the lyrics truly gets me, super good 9/10
    - champagne problems has witness’s vibe, it makes you wanna dance! a good song 7/10
    - smile, super upbeat and fun-loving! didnt really like it at first but after a 2-3 times re-listening to it, the beat and chorus is stuck to my head. love it 8.5/10
    - not the end of the world reminds me of black widow and dark horse, fast paced and strong 8/10

    now is my top 3 (besides daisies and never really over): tucked: kinda upbeat, lovely and sweet, got me hooked the first time i listened to it, falling in love with it more and more throughout the song. i love the chorus and it’s context so much!!! 9.5/10

    harleys in hawaii: criminally, outrageously underrated??? i honestly dont know why people slept on this masterpiece. gets even better the more you listen to it, the more mature version of teenage dream, still dont know why it’s not a big hit already. give harleys in hawaii a try i beg you, you won’t regret a single second 10/10

    only love: the lyrics is giving me chills and it’s melody. tbh i had low expectations but got surprised because of how well this is sung. even gave me teary eyes too! meaningful and truly empowering 9.5/10

    im kind of a picky listener but katy’s smile the album does NOT disappoint. some songs are actually growers and after the second, third or event fourth time, you might even change your views on them. though our choices and references may be different but i strongly recommend you to listen to my top three, i can guarantee that you’ll enjoy it. daisies and never really over is amazingly good also. go ahead, give them all a try and support smile the album

    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).
