    Katy Perry brought us the best of her two eras, Prism and Teenage Dream, with fresh sounds and meaningful lyrics, the album doesn't feel heavy, it has several hits that if they had been released in their era of success they would have been # 1, without a doubt. Katy's best album

    Her best album yet, the production and melodies are 10/10 and the lyrics tell the story of how she overcame the darkest period of her life coming through the other side but still being super upbeat and happy. The words i would describe this album are : melancholic, hopeful, beautiful and a bit nostalgic.

    In addition to the smiles Katy Perry brought in that album the essence that made her a pop star. Lyrics full of truth and feelings that we saw in One Of The Boys, instrumentals and vocals that bring pleasure to our ears, in addition to being complex and rich, totally admirable. We can feel a PRISM vibe that kills Miss Katy Perry Hit Maker.

    Absolutely fresh, it brings what Katy knows how to do best: elicit smiles wherever she goes. Katy Perry thought about suicide in the past era and it will not happen again, impartial criticism will never be able to take her smile off again. If you are so bitter, #Smile! ;) LOVE & LIGHT. So proud of you, gurl!

    Her best album to date, a complete masterpiece. She really revived her PRISM and Teenage Dreams vibes here, it’s the perfect mixture of both. All the songs in the album are single worthy and they have the potential to reach number one on the Hot 100. Katy really bounced back with a sincere piece of work, Smile it’s personal and relatable in many ways. Wishing success to her, today andHer best album to date, a complete masterpiece.

    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).
