    El mejor disco que Katy Perry ha hecho, es una mezcla de Teenage Dream y Prism con un toque de Witness, una auténtica joya.

    Entediante! 5 álbuns lançando as mesmas músicas pedantes com cara de 2008. Evolução artística? Não tem.
    Composição? É vergonhosa e as letras são rasas, estou lendo um livro de auto ajuda e não sei?
    Vocais? Zero evolução, pelo contrário, ela conseguiu piorar nesse album. Produção? Extremamente básica, tenta emular o estilo Dance/Disco e falha pois álbuns anteriores como Future Nostalgia,    Entediante! 5 álbuns lançando as mesmas músicas pedantes com cara de 2008.

    Produção? Extremamente básica, tenta emular o estilo Dance/Disco e falha pois álbuns anteriores como Future Nostalgia, Whats Your Pleasure e Chromatica fazem isso magistralmente.
    Coesão? Isso nem existe nesse álbum, são diversas músicas vazias, jogadas pra cumprir tabela, esse álbum soa mais como uma playlist ruim do spotify do que um álbum.    … Expand

    What an experience ! Katy Perry didn't shy away to bring up the issues that many artists hesitate to talk about. in my humble opinion, it's much better than all of her previous projects.

I read the professionals critiques and I'm just shocked that how can any body be so cruel, hard and harsh towards an album that brings hope, resilience, and obviously smile. They are tasteless and we all know their previous critiques towards PRISM and WITNESS. it's quite mysoginistic and unappreciative off of a woman"s hardwork.i must say that single choices were weak with lazy strategy but definitely an ALBUM OF THE YEAR… Expand

    Albúm de 10, ninguna canción es mala, es mi albúm favorito de Katy. Mi top 5 de canciones: not the end of the world, cry about it later, never really over, Champagne problems y harleys in Hawaii.

    What I love about Katy Perry's fifth studio album “Smile” is that we see her growth in her new album and from what she went through since her Witness Era. I personally love the message and the vibes of every songs in the album, it makes me smile and dance to the rhythm of her new songs.

    Should call her Karen Perry as this album secured her transition to suburban, uncool mom.

    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).
