    Katy, logo após dar a luz a sua primeira filha, Dayse, nos deu luz também a um trabalho mais maduro, mas mesmo assim divertido e solar, com toda certeza um dos seus melhores trabalhos.

    Katy poured her soul and love on this album and it shows because we can see her growth as a person and how having a child change her life, this is probably her best album and katy really topped witness as her best album and we can always expect her to surprise us

    Smile has a very fresh and feel-free sound that transmits good energy. The song layout is perfect, pairing similar songs together to cohesively tell an entire story. The lyrics are very honest and realistic, much of what today’s pop music lacks. Katy Perry is back and her latest album Smile is proof that if you make music from the heart, its sound will resonate with millions.

    One of her best, she went to a sound that she made her signature sound. It is an album that takes you through her depression to the mind set she has now. It deserves so much more from "critics" than clearly show how biased they are too. The albums a flawless dance album and deserves so much success.

    Que álbum incrível em todas as suas dimensões, Katy trás à tona seus problemas pessoais mas ainda assim não deixa de dançar sobre elas, Smile é sobre a capacidade que você tem de superar os problemas e Katy sintetiza isso muito vem, sem dúvidas um dos melhores de sua carreira.

    Katy Perry has her SMILE back and gifts us with a masterpiece which I could describe as if resilience could be heard as sound waves. The way she externalizes the sensation of "full bloom" and the way she lets herself vulnerable and talks about important subjects, as well as recovery from depression and finding the light inside herself, make this one of her most well-produced works.

As a plus, she even gets to deliver an incredible "circus sad-clown" visual, which may seem, in a good way, controversial with the deepness of discussions in the songs. For me, it is her best reinventing since her debut. Expand

Standout tracks on the album are: Not The End of The World, Teary Eyed, Cry About It Later, Tucked, Champagne Problems and Only Love along with favorites Never Really Over, Smile & Harley's In Hawaii. A solid effort that can literally go toe to toe with Perry's previous works Teenage Dream & Prism. If you don't like Smile then something is obviously wrong with you and you have no taste whatsoever. That's the facts and stop hating on Katy, whatever the hell did she do to you. This is hands down one of the best album's of 2020. Honestly, I hope the album gets a nomination at the 2021 Grammy's for Best Pop Vocal Performance. Expand

    Katy Perry is such an honest and true artist. She’s in a place where she doesn’t want to innovate and build a legacy because she already did that. From the begging to the end of this album she gave us what she offered from her first single of this era, fun, light hearted and sweet. Love this.

    One of Katy Perry's best. if you ask me. It just so iconic.
    Every track you can see how she has grown. You can notice that Katy isn't the girl who just wanted to have fun, like she was in the Teenage Dream era, anymore. Now, she is supreme. She isn't a girl anymore; she's a woman, she is a mother.
    Never Really Over- a BOP. It should've been a massive hit. Cry About It Later- another

    Daisies- a song that the more you listen, the more you like.
    Resilient- another great personal song.
    Not the End of the World- the best song of the whole album. Just perfection.
    Smile- really good. Deserved much more.
    Champagne Problems- not really my favorite, but it's still good.
    Tucked- again not my favorite, but still really good.
    Harleys In Hawaii- great song. Another song that deserved much more.
    Only Love- another very personal song. I feel that Katy exposed herself in this one, just made herself vulnerable. A true emotional song.
    What Makes A Woman- only with the title you can understand what this song is about and why it is so good.

    lo unico malo es que se acaba, el disco en si es una pasada, Katy es una gran artista

    Es arte, un álbum con unas letras bastantes motivadoras y precisas, con un sonido muy bailable es un álbum que deja huella, siendo fan de Taylor de Katy y Gaga creo que las tres nos han dado buena música y katy ha hecho un buen álbum.

    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).
