    a perfection pop. stream it, please! do not let the critics say what they think, with their superiority syndrome. she delivered an incredible job, let's support and leave this chase. Katy doesn't deserve this, she's a good artist.

    Um álbum sublime, não ha dúvidas que smile é o álbum do ano, o conjunto da obra mostra com katy Perry desceu da nuvem, e se mostrou mais que a garota da california, ela veio com a intenção de se mostrar com um sorriso, e o brilho foi tão grande que aqueceu nossos corações!

    Fue un regreso perfecto! Un disco fresco y lleno de emotividad que nos hace olvidar la existencia de Witness.
    A Katy se le crítica que no sale de su Sona de confort, peor hacer esta crítica deja en evidencia que no escucharon el álbum y solo se están dejando llevar por apreciaciones personales .
    Uno de los álbumes del año sin duda alguna.

    Álbum perfeito, tem um jeito especial que só Katy sabe dar a suas músicas. Tem de tudo dentro do Smile, te faz sorrir, dançar, chorar. Mas deixe pra chorar depois, agora tome um champagne problems e vamos sorrir juntos.

    Such a masterpiece. Thank you so much Katy for being love & light! Cry About It Later, Not The End Of The World and Champagne Problems are my favourites.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Katy Perry’s new look at the world is simple and incredible, it’s about valuing love and thanking whoever is protecting us for another day, the album tells a relationship story at the same time that we realize her personal growth, it just shows that love must not stop our evolution.… Expand

    Best album of Katy Perry. "Daises" gives you all the positive energy you want. "Cry about it later" makes you forget about your problems and enjoy your positive day. "Never really over" makes you remember your past. "Harley's in Hawaii" makes you go into trance and enjoy the mood.

    Katy has made her way through depression and one can only feel happy for her. Also watch out 90s disco sound of #KP5 might snatch ur wig

    This album is amazing! It brings a message of self love, breaktrough and happiness... a lot of the songs follow this "disco" vibe, the 2020 trend for music. It's catchy, it's fun, it's just... beautiful! The perfect comeback for such a big name in pop music as Katy

    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).
