    Es un álbum donde vemos como Katy Perry nos sigue demostrando que nada está perdido, que las cosas positivas llegan que después de lo malo viene lo bueno. Y que si estás mal sigas adelante enérgicamente. Digno album de este año. Y sobretodo en pandemia.

    59 metascore....

    But it is really that bad as critics claimed? Various critics keep comparing SMILE with Lady Gaga’s CHROMATICA and Taylor Swift’s FOLKLORE and even Perry’s previous album! BUT CHROMATICA and FOLKLORE are barely on the same Genre with SMILE! They seem to rate this album in terms of Katy Perry personal behaviour instead of how the album actually is. But I don’t care, this    59 metascore....

    fxck off those critics, some of them say Katy cannont make any creative songs out of her comfort zone, and some of them say katy cannot make any hit songs like she used to. Guess what? you never reveiw Katy's album fairly, go and check Teenage Dream review what they crtising now is what they critised ten years ago, it's like pop in the mortal sin

    Katy brings the best out of herself in her vulnerable words & transparency. This album shows a very soft side of Katy where she just wants to going with a genuine Smile & nonetheless nothing but pure love. 10/10

    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).
