    Sus vídeos dan cringe, es una chavorruca que intenta tener éxito con las tendencias en Inter pero solo pasa pena, urge que Abortaty ya se retire y que las katyclowns dejen de presumir cosas del pasado y acepten que su fav quedó smile

    O álbum entrega a mesma fórmula batida de sempre e com uma sonoridade rasa. As músicas não conversam entre si e parece uma coleção de descartes. O fato de muitas músicas do álbum terem sido lançadas há muito tempo atrapalhou bastante

    Sin comentarios en lo personal no me parece nada nuevo, todas las canciones son aburridas y los vídeos de los singles que ha sacado se me hacen básicos, aburridos y eso aún hace que la canción sea más aburrida. Es un álbum que no escuchare, y mucho menos compraría por qué sería gastar mi dinero en algo que no vale la pena.

    É um álbum onde a Katy perry mostrou seu lado mais maduro e conseguiu impressionar, ela trouxa uma chuva de positividade e as musicas realmente se conectam em todos aspectos (romance, família, amor próprio).

    Genérico, olvidable, patético y pretencioso podrian describir este álbum. Katy Perry no tiene talento y lo demuestra en este dolor de cabeza que llama álbum. Líricas mediocres y produccion plana, salvables 3 tracks y el resto es una bazofia.

    Cry it about it later is the song that could save this album. Katty Perry as a legend has influenced the pop music with colorful videos, an amazing production and hopelly song lyrics. Unfortunately she got down into a cliché and like she chose disposable songs from her previous albums to put in here.

    Ella puede hacer un mejor trabajo, se entiende que es el tipo de música que ama, pero lejos está de ser la estrella pop que dominó el 2013 dónde todos menospreciaron a otras artistas que hoy en día valen oro, fea música.

    The worst one yet, Katy craves for radio hits and forgets to give us quality and genuine content. The lyrics are weak, the melodies are generic, we can see no evolution, no soul, no truth.

    Katy Perry no suele ser mi artista favorita pero su disco no es malo. Creo que su mayor defecto es que dejó muy pocas canciones nuevas y lanzó muchos sencillos desde hace más de un año. Mi favorita siguen siendo NRO pero tiene otras buenas.

    Realmente todo el disco parecen descartes de sus trabajos anteriores. No se siente una conexión o sonido que nos diga quién es Smile. Las baladas son monótonas y aburridas. La mayor parte del disco parecen rellenos inecesarios. Canciones como Harleys in Hawaii o Never Really Over duelen verlas dentro de éste trabajo.

    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
    60
    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).
