    I can't believe how critics are comparing her to other female artists even though she is different than others.
    It is probably her Best Album. Teary Eyes is such an amazing song as well.

    "When she changes herself, people don't want her to change
    and when she doesn't, they call her she is not changing"

Cuando comenzó a lanzar música a principios de la década sabía que llegaría alto, y creo que se ha ganado con el tiempo su estatus de leyenda pero, personalmente, una leyenda como ella no puede lanzar este álbum.

    Smile perfectly encapsulates Katy's own story of pain, resilience and growth. Amidst isolation, agony, anxiety and divisiveness, Smile's timing is perfectly right. It showcases her vocal prowess and her ability to turn her own pain and recovery into a collection of empowering anthems that resonate well with a lot of her listeners and the general public.

    The Smile Album has a good sound proposal to bring joy and less hatred, and is proving it through the critics who are trying at all costs to destroy the singer's reputation, because for them she will never be good enough to evolve, it gets to be sick and wicked with a pop star with more than 11 years of career.

    CRITICS ARE DEAF. WHAT KIND OF CRITIC COMPARES MUSIC AND NOT JUDGING IT AS A PIECE OF WORK ON ITS OWN? IS THERE A NEED TO ALWAYS COMPARE WOMEN IN THE INDUSTRY? ALL THE ALBUMS RELEASED THIS YEAR BY *WOMEN* ARE FVCKING GREAT. KATY’S SMILE IS NOT EXCEPTION. CRITICS ARE SH!TE AND KATY IS BEING BLACKBALLED BY HOLLYWOOD!!!

    This is one of her best albums, without a doubt.

    She started the KP5 era with amazing droplets (365, Never Really Over, Harleys In Hawaii, Small Talk, Never Worn White). Daisies and Smile were excellent single choises as they show the cute and sweet side of Katy. What Makes A Woman and Cry About It Later are one of the best tracks.

    This is probably one of the most cohesive that Katy Perry have done ever. The album has a lot of bangers, bops and happy moments but it also has reflexive and personal tracks, such as Daisies and Only Love. My favourites songs are Cry about It Later and Not The End of the World!

    What a fun and beautiful album! Most of the songs are jams that really can bring a smile back, a sense of gratitude and moving on with a happy life. I'm obsessed with "Tucked", "Teary Eyes", "Champagne Problems", "Harley's in Hawaii" and "What Makes a Women" (the ending of this song is just... Feels!). Gonna keep it on repeat

    Fresh and funny. Katy Perry created an album that turns sadness into happiness - the lyrics are about loving yourself and living your life in spite of what people say about you.

    While other artists are making albums so you can dance in your house, Perry's "Smile" makes you think and reflect about your life until this moment. It is true some of the songs are forgettable but I believe Katy didn't want to make a commercial pop album.

    Al 100% il miglior album del 2020 e uno dei migliori album di Katy Perry. Con questo album Katy cerca di ritrovare il sorriso e a parer mio lo ha ritrovato al 100%.

    Smile is Katy Perry's best album, it's fun and poppy sound is perfect for the time that were living in where anything that can get our minds from the awful things going on is appreciated, it's Katy getting her Smile back and making her best work yet while she's at it.

    Katy Perry delivers another pop perfection record. The album is cohesive in sound but the production and composition of tracks are very unique from each other. This is the 5th time Katy released an immaculate bible with multiple collapses throughout the journey of listening to it. I think most of the critics are giving her low reviews because they are judging her and not the album.Katy Perry delivers another pop perfection record.

Anyways, pop supreme Katy Perry is still winning with her famous husband, popular baby and million dollar sales. ALBUM OF THE YEAR!… Expand

    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).
