    The fifth studio album Smile by Katy Perry is without doubt one the best pop album ever released this year along side Future Nostalgia.
    The cohesion of every song is groundbreaking!

    Katy, as usual, delivered a well-done, very well-written, produced album. But this one is more than special because it is about a real process of healing, the album starts with pain and it ends with self-worth, self recognition and care. She shared with us her life and her mind in the deepest way and did that trough great sounds, beats, lyrics, rhythm and melody.

    So beautiful and authentic. Essential message about resilience. Dancing and contagious. There are no words to define Katy Perry's talent.

    Finding some difficulties to understand such harsh reviews by the critics, also realising that most reviews are more focussed on comparing miss Perry Bloom to other female pop stars rather than focussing on reviewing the music.
    This is such a great pop album, I can even say almost on the same level of her sophomore album Teenage Dream.
    I have big hopes for this record to go well.

I consider it to be a tactically rhythmic album, each melody goes according to the lyrics, the lyrics are extremely positive as always Katy Perry does it again, music for the soul and the heart, David Hudson (her brother) says it well in Part of me the movie, she will never have bad intentions, it's just love, an album that takes us back to its beginnings a combination of teenage dream with prism I could dare to say that it has tones from her 4 albums in an exact combination since she has said her lyrics are her own diary and that is what makes her one of the few singers who really connect with her fans.

    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).
