    Un buen álbum con sonidos que te tranquilizan y hacen que te conectes con el álbum, la letra es increíble pero el álbum pudo haber estado mejor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I genuinely love it when artists create melancholic songs yet with an upbeat tempo and not to mention the lyrical excellence of the songs this record have. Indeed this is what we all need during these trying times we are experiencing right now, it depicts resiliency and knowing that there is still hope - as what the lyrics of Resilient says " I know there's gotta be rain if I want the rainbows" and "the darker the night, the brighter the stars glow". Great record.… Expand

    Hoping that the unimpressed critics get Positive on Corona Virus and vanish from this Earth. Katy Perry Smile album is the best. I love Tucked personally. Can't wait for Cry About It Later to be the next single. 10/10 for Smile

    Los críticos se están enfocando en la vida y el pasado de Katy Perry, no se están centrando en calificar el álbum. Un excelente álbum lleno de sonidos nuevos y frescos, nos muestra una línea lírica que va desde bailar en medio de lágrimas, reconocerse a sí misma como resiliente, hasta darnos un excelente mensaje de paz con only love.

    After listening to entire Katy's discography, I think she's always made the same production, the lyrics is boring.

    The queen of pop is back and better than ever! Smile is a deeply personal journey for Katy as she finds herself and and her smile again after years of emotional lows. Each song is unique and the message resonates so clearly, not to mention the production is flawless. There is not a skip to be found. Katy, this album could not have come at a better time! Thank you so much! We love you!

    She released a playlist of songs she wrote while bored and then recorded in a bathroom and called it an album, A disrespect with her fans and everyone who lost their time to listen to this terrible body of work, if it can be called one.

    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).
