    I love this record. It seems like Katy Perry can truly be herself in this era after such a difficult time after Witness. I had problems and found it really hard to deal with that mess in the past so I can feel the empathy. I can say SMILE is my non-skip playlist, which Teenage Dream and Prism can't be.

    "Smile" by Katy Perry - Review:

    A Katy Perry foi tão sincera em compartilhar os momentos mais sombrios nas letras de cada faixa, e como a sua filha mudou a sua vida, tirando-a do fundo do poço. A faixa Smile é a transição de todos os seus sentimentos. #Smile é um álbum coeso, dançante e dou destaque as baladas, como Teary Eyes. Minha faixa de maior destaque vai para "Not The End Of
    "Smile" by Katy Perry - Review:

    A Katy Perry foi tão sincera em compartilhar os momentos mais sombrios nas letras de cada faixa, e como a sua filha mudou a sua vida, tirando-a do fundo do poço. A faixa Smile é a transição de todos os seus sentimentos. #Smile é um álbum coeso, dançante e dou destaque as baladas, como Teary Eyes.

    Minha faixa de maior destaque vai para "Not The End Of The World" que sem dúvidas, eu escolheria como próximo single para divulgação do álbum. A música é uma grande aposta para as pistas de danças, a PONTE é o maior destaque da música. Sem falar da letra, que é um maior deboche da Katy, em questão de críticas que ela recebe.

    Sinceramente? O SMILE é o melhor álbum lançado neste ano! Me sinto grato de tá ouvindo um álbum sincero e extremamente importante, para uma artista como Katy Perry.

    This album is pop perfection, she brought happiness to these dark times we living right now, smile is an album of happiness, where you can dance and level those endorphins up, an album thats tells you everything you’re going through will make you stronger. I love it because of those dark times she had, she came with a bright smile, a bright album and a little baby girl Daisy. KATY **** PERRY

    Antes de escrever uma critica é importante também entender de onde Katy tira inspiração para entregar um álbum assim. A cantora entrega um pop dançante com rítmos e batidas juntamente de letras fortes, retomando à sua jornada após os ocorridos de 2017, a sonoridade é impecável, e mesmo que familiar, entrega um ótimo trabalho.

My favourite tracks are: Never Really Over, Teary Eyes, Resilient, What Makes a Woman and High on Your Supply. The production is fantastic and the sound is versatile and also reminiscent of her past work, with some of the tracks reminding me of disco. The lyrics are soulful and tell a cohesive story that might resonate with yours. She finally detached herself from wanting to chart at all costs and has started focusing on her craft. She's creating for her fans, and we appreciate her. Rock On, Katy! Expand

    There's a reason if Katy's not getting the commercial success she used to in Teenage Dream. She's never evolved musically. She's always playing it safe. This album makes no exception : It is a bland pop record that just sounds like some Teenage dream B-sides. The only way she could get out of this critical and commercial flop curse would be to surprise her public with a more audacity.

Senti algumas boas mudanças dos álbuns interiores, mas ela entregando um pop um pouco mais maduro seria algo maravilhoso e que eu iria querer muito escutar.

    It is what it is, this album has a lot to give even more in this dark times, there is such a story between the layout of the songs and lyrics, that it is such a great great 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).
