    Her best album so far, the only track i didn't like is NRO. The top 3 from the album is Resilient, Only Love & High On Your Supply. And NRO? OUT

    Your new album is completely a bop, I love the feelings you share with us, because at some point in our lives, we were the same. You've always helped me with your music and I'll always be your witness.

    her most cohesive album to date. i am very satisfied and happh with how much i love this album considering i was so disappointed with Witness (that one is far from cohesive and had so many filler tracks). personally, sonically this album reminds me to Loud by Rihanna and is just as organized as thank u, next by Ariana so if u like both aspects from both albums, i don’t see any reason for uher most cohesive album to date. i am very satisfied and happh with how much i love this album considering i was so disappointed with Witness (that one is far from cohesive and had so many filler tracks). personally, sonically this album reminds me to Loud by Rihanna and is just as organized as thank u, next by Ariana so if u like both aspects from both albums, i don’t see any reason for u to dislike this album.… Expand

    Tudo que precisávamos pra essa quarentena. Coeso e com aquela vibe que só a Katy consegue trazer. Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes e Tucked são obras de arte.
    Se o objetivo era trazer de volta nossos sorrisos: conseguiu com muito sucesso!

    Katy Perry is very pure, beautiful and perfect in this era. This album shows the new katy perry who is not only a pop star but a mother. I hope she enjoy and has a lot of fun with her Baby Daisy. Katy has always done a good job and brought us incredible songs. Stop throwing hate at women in the music industry, they work too hard.

    A really amazing album, katy managed to overcome herself this time, exposed her emotions and narrated the journey of overcoming form, inspiring and with great quality. One of the best albums of the year

    The most mature album we have ever gotten from her. What makes a woman, Resilent, Teary Eyes are some of the great songs in the album.

    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).
