    When we think the things cannot be worst, Katy Perry release a new album. Witness it's a terrible background, but make sense with the moment of her life and just fails trying to be a growing up moment. Smile it's childish in a way you can not imagine and really sounds not good to the ears. I hope her pregnancy gives her life again and she can made something relatable to the public.

Esperemos salir de esto y poder escuchar joyas como CAIT y TE en las discos. Todas las canciones son tan buenas para escuchar en cualquier momento, es muy improbable que des un skip.

    Katy perry’s ‘Smile’ is all we’ve been asking for. It kinda feels like a time machine, taking us back to some of her greatest hits

    I don't know what problems the judges have with Katy Perry. She delivered everything in this album! Perfect lyrics, perfect songs and a breathtaking production (made by her) in this album.

    Perry conseguiu compilar 12 músicas maravilhosas numa obra que, sonoramente agrada qualquer tipo de ouvinte e, liricamente tem a possibilidade de inspirar e abrir um verdadeiro sorriso no rosto de quem se identifica com os temas abordados, de maneira explêndida, em cada faixa do álbum!

    I think Katy Perry just redeemed herself. I was kinda worried about her recent single and worry that this album will underperform like “Witness” or the background instrumentals will sound a little bit dull like her previous record.

HOWEVER, the present of “Cry About It Later” and “Not the End of the World” just WOW me, the later one especially feels like “Dark Horse” and “Black Widow”(also written by Perry) are having a baby, the background instrumental is powerful that is rare in recent pop music industry.

    On the other hand, “Only Love” and “ What Makes A Woman” show the fragile side of Perry, they perfectly demonstrate how versatile Perry is.

    This album is cohesive. Every 3 tracks tell the part of the big story. in 3rd part she finds her smile back. She brings new sounds to her discography, she never done an euro pop song like Teary Eyes before, and also funky song like Champagne Problems. Nothing alike to her last albums, this is brand new. She evolved a lot yet she proved that she is a legend of pop music, she is the master.This album is cohesive. Every 3 tracks tell the part of the big story. in 3rd part she finds her smile back.

She evolved a lot yet she proved that she is a legend of pop music, she is the master. She knows the formula of pop hit music. Another genius thought behind the album is beat drops are not EDM-ish they are all in songs verses, so that makes every second of songs valuable. Congratulations to her and thank her for this pure pop that we all needed. Expand

    Katy has definitely found her smile in her new album and the best part is that she made us find it too. I'm so proud of her.

    This is by far one of her best albuns. The way she talks about her mature feelings using the sonority that she is known for is lit. Amazing, just amazing

    Such a good album. I actually did not expect it to be this good, but ita amazing. Not The End Of The World is literally her best song since like 2016. This album is full of bops, it don’t deserve the hate it got. Thanks, Katy❤️

    This album made me feel something i was wanting to feel in a LONG time, the production, lyrics and vocals, is just what i call "what pop is about", because this is real pop for me, REAL POP.

    Katy Perry uses this composition method, which is motivate herself writting songs with that sadness or that lowness, and making it the opposite, helping us to get up and stay chill! That is pop for

    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).
