    Com 'Smile', Katy realmente reencontrou seu sorriso. Desde faixas como Not the End of the World, que trazem uma mensagem de superação, á What Makes A Woman, o que podemos chamar de uma linda música com uma mensagem linda e feminista. Até mesmo quem está triste, com certeza, tem vontade de abrir o sorriso ouvindo essa obra de arte.

Obrigado, não só á Katy, mas á Katherine, que teve a força de compor e fazer esse álbum tão pessoal e sensível. Obrigado, obrigado, por essa obra genial!… Expand

    Katy Perry brought one of the best jobs of her career with Smile. Pop in its essence, lyrics that tell the journey out of the darkness and find the light and visuals that only she can deliver.

    Therapy, Recovery, Happiness and Love are all in an harmonious order. Though some critics say that she does not come out from her line Perry reflects her 20/20 vision through a new metaphorical and optimistic lyrics with new collaborators.

    Katy Perry just released the best pop album of the year (and probably the best of her career). Proving that the expert music critics are wrong, she can easily pleaser her own fans and makes them want more and more!
    You definitely can’t miss this album!

    This album is her return to what she does better then anyone, pop bangers, songs like Cry about it Later, Never Really Over and Teary Eyes are the kind of song that makes us want dance, NTEOTW is a trap infused dramatic song which suits her voice perfectly.

    Engraçado a crítica meter o pau na Katy Perry ao dizer que ela não sai do mesmo, onde faz letras e melodias básicas sem conceito, mas esquecem que após o lançamento de Witness, seu quarto álbum de estúdio, foi massacrada por tentar fazer algo diferente, levando a depressão.

Smile é o retorno triunfal que faltava em sua carreira, trazendo um clima dançante, com uma pegada aka Katy Perry, com toques e ritmos que lembram seus antigos álbuns, como o Prism (sucesso absoluto). Smile e a volta do sorriso da nova mamãe e a reabertura novamente de seu legado. Deveriam largar o pé da Katy e criticar realmente as músicas, não a persona Katheryn, não é de hoje que a mídia e os grandes sites fazem um eterno caça as bruxas a cantora, pelo seu posicionamento político e seu jeito de ser. SMILE, entrega vocais, performances, tranquilidade, calmaria mediante a uma época de caos. Com pontos altos e medianos, não se encontra um single ruim. É ser totalmente ignorante querer comparar os lançamentos atuais com "Roar", "Firework" ou "Dark Horse", o pop muda, o estilo muda, e o público junto. Não estamos no auge do estilo como a 10/8 anos atras. Os fogos não se apagaram, o doce não azedou e o rugido ainda se mantém. Parabéns Katy Perry, pelo seu legado aos 35 anos de idade, e mais de 10 anos de carreira, ser relevante e estar na mídia como você nesse tempo onde, artistas femininas precisam sempre se renovar e se reafirmar devido a mídia e as críticas machistas, não é para qualquer um. Saiba que o MEU SORRISO você conquistou e sempre conquistará!… Expand

    Smile finaliza com uma música nota 6 e uma 5,5 e o restante só aclamação, pra mim é o álbum onde ela mistura tudo que todo mundo quer ouvir do melódico Katy Perry ao Trap Katy Perry. É o trabalho mais intenso dela e maduro, é triste e melancólico, é depressivo e encorajador, é Katy Perry (a própria que os fãs disseram q foi perdida na era witness).

She did it with glamor and with her deepest feelings. It is possible to see the smooth of all songs and how they heal while you go through it. My love for Cry about it later, Resilient, Champagne Problems and Tucked. She is definitely doing what she did best: sing with soul!… Expand

    Album fulfilled what it promised, making fans smile again. Fun and dancing album, which at the same time shows the release of Katy Perry from her old demons. Katy presents a clear and light world, with love and fun. A new rebirth for your work, cohesive and coherent.

    After facing depression and rejection in a very dramatic way, Katy puts on Smile s story that tells the trajectory of conscience that the singer acquired in these years of music industry. The tracks are danceable, nostalgic, fresh but still sounds dramatic. Perry really is back!

    This album is a solid pop perfection. She does a truly and honesty work, talking about her fears, dreams and the journey to self love. It’s a breath of hope on those dark times we are living. Tucked and What Makes A Woman are a masterpiece. Be alive on the Future Nostalgia, Chromatica, Sawayama and Smile year it’s such a privilege.

    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).
