    Smile finaliza com uma música nota 6 e uma 5,5 e o restante só aclamação, pra mim é o álbum onde ela mistura tudo que todo mundo quer ouvir do melódico Katy Perry ao Trap Katy Perry. É o trabalho mais intenso dela e maduro, é triste e melancólico, é depressivo e encorajador, é Katy Perry (a própria que os fãs disseram q foi perdida na era witness).
    Smile pode não ser um fenômeno mundial

    Katy Perry nos trás talvez o melhor álbum do ano até agora (ou pelo menos um dos melhores) ela parece mesmo que não vai mais ouvir as críticas negativas e decidiu ser ela mesma, acredito que nunca deixou de ser.

Se é seu melhor álbum só o tempo dirá! Mas esse algum foi uma mistura de tudo que ela já fez e ao mesmo tempo inovador do jeito que só Perry sabe fazer. Nos trouxe de volta aquela garota louca e revoltada de One of The Boys, nos trouxe músicas que fazem a gente voltar ao tempo do lendário Teenege Dream e ao mesmo tempo perceber o quanto ela amadureceu
    Em questão lírica não deve nada ao aclamado Prism e ao mesmo tempo parece que ela sente orgulho de Witness. Katy sem dúvidas é uma das maiores artistas Pop que esse mundo tem a oportunidade de ouvir, ela realmente não precisa mais de charts, ela precisa apenas que seus fãs e fãs de música de conectem com a sua arte e com Smile ela conseguiu

    Katy Perry's returning to easy pop tunes with some personal lyrics. It's not really hard to hear and the beats are all radio friendly.

E essa jornada de auto-conhecimento dá origem ao álbum pop mais cativante do ano. A palavra chave é uma só: auto-cuidado.

    Smile is Katy’s most mature, organized, and focused album to date, each song flowing seamlessly into the next. From a tonal and narrative perspective, the album tells a consistent story - gradually transitioning from the lows to the highs.

From a tonal and narrative perspective, the album tells a consistent story - gradually transitioning from the lows to the highs. The record starts extremely strong - its first four tracks are all breezy, introspective, and sophisticated (particularly the pop masterpiece that is “Never Really Over,” which competes with “Teenage Dream” as Katy’s best song to date.) The album loses a little steam towards the middle, but manages to stay engaging on the more celebratory/romantic tracks (“Champagne Problems,” “Tucked”), and ends with the lovely “Only Love” and “What Makes a Woman.” Predictably, Smile is a pleasant extension of Prism’s adult contemporary second half (particularly the track “Resilient”), although the criticism of Perry’s use of self-empowerment cliches is fair. What makes the criticism of Smile so frustrating, however, is that the same critics who are now nostalgic for Teenage Dream (and who now call it a pop classic and a perfect album) were harshly critiquing said album just ten years ago. The critics curiously want Teenage Dream Katy back, but when Teenage Dream Katy was around, they didn’t appear to appreciate her either. When Katy experimented with new sounds on Witness, critics asked for her to stay in her lane; when she returned to bright pop on Smile, she’s accused of being boring and not taking chances. Critics be damned, Smile is Perry’s strongest work since Prism, and as a complete album stands at the top of her discography. Expand

    É constrangedor que uma mulher de 35 anos lance um álbum totalmente sem coesão e imaturo como esse. É, literalmente, constrangedor escutar isso que, supostamente, eram para ser músicas.

    Espero que ela consiga encontrar a sua verdadeira vocação sendo mãe, pois como cantora não tem mais salvação.

    This album is totally a BOP.
    The teenage dream, California girl Katy Perry has become a full bloom, mature mother.
    Unlike Witness, SMILE the album has shown how happy Katy is and how she wants the world to become, joyful and united.
    Like the song Cry About It Later, in this hard time during the pandemic, we can’t do anything but just dance, party and have fun!!

    Album incrível, e faz jus ao nome, pois arrancou vários sorrisos em mim. Katy Perry foi muito perspicaz como sempre.

    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.

    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).
