    Idk about others, but for me this isnt a very simillar album to the others she made. Maybe the singles can be the "old katy" of prism and teenage dream but the non-singles are very catchy and different to the other musical works she made!

You can dance with the songs and sing them all day. The best pop album in 2020. She did a great job with this album. I can say this album is a new "Teenage Dream" in this decade.

    Smile is just Katy Perry's best album. A magnificent and solid piece of art which combine her previous albums and talk about her journey after 'witness' (2017). It's pure intimacy but also extremily relatable, this album soffer attacks from "critics" for clickbait but deserves to be one of the most sucecesful of this year.

    Thank You, Katy! Good Job!

Everyone knows that New York is the city of dreams for everyone who aspires to be artistically known, but since not everything is flowers, Stefani had a hard time, often serving as a relief even for beggars, but luck smiled at her when Akon came in. one of those nightclubs and like the other artists who once went there, was looking for a unique adventure, "Lady Starlight is the worst thing in the house", those were the words of Akon, Stefani was not stupid and took advantage of her resemblance to her best friend, whose stage name was Lady Starlight, taking Akon out of the waiting line and taking over, Akon entering the room where Stefani was lying, naked and waiting, was amazed at the gore she had witnessed in that moment: a big-nosed transvestite, with badly done makeup and a badly placed wig, the adventure had just begun, as Akon noticed that Stefani had an absurd talent in the art of blowjob, Stefani made him swear to stand together that he would help her in her artistic career, in which she would strive absurdly and still give a large part of the profits to him, the proposal was tempting and from there it all started, Akon invested thousands of dollars in a 'store bath', mainly in wigs and glasses that could hide at least 80% of the face and turn it into an object of desire for the most inattentive men, thus was born the Lady Gaga figure (junction of 'lady' to illustrate the lack of youthfulness on her face, with Gaga from a Queen song called Radio Gaga that ironically, or does not sing about the decadence of the songs that are broadcast on the radio).

    Is on of the best albums of the 2020, the sound, the lyrics, the voice of katy is everything, i don't understand why the critics are so mean with her, i think that they're not objectives, but well, this album is a perfection pop, there's no skips.

    Every song is so inspiring and can really help with depression and anxiety. All tracks are positively affecting listeners without exhausting the ears even on repeat.

    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).
