    It is for sure an introverted album. It's not completely different from everything she's done, but when you heard, you can feel everything feeling and emotions put on it. Katy Perry gave to her fans what they didn't know they wanted, but it is something they needed.

    "Why now?" I rebut it with "why not?" In this time of uncertainty and anxiety, this album brought to us something we haven't had for a while: a smile. The music comes before the industry so for me, this album is a 10, because it helps me cope up in these trying times.

    Excelente álbum, se supera continuamente. Daisies mi preferida, Never really over y Harleys in Hawaii joyas del pop. Dentro de lo inédito muchas sorpresas como Not the end of the world, Only love y Cry about it later. Sin dudas, mi álbum favorito de Katy Perry.

    An album that transmits hope and resistance in these hard times, thanks Katy for not letting you fall apart by the Elite, they can take away everything they once offered you but they can never take away your fans who love you so much.

    No matter what Katy does, it seems impossible for critics to give her the fair treatment she deserves. This album is not the same old stuff she’s always done to fill her “stadium sized audience” Rolling Stone. This album explores the personal aspect of her depression life and how she brought back the beautiful smile we all love to hear and see.

    As músicas conversam muito bem entre si, começa e termina perfeito. Me surpreendeu bastante, não paro de escutar e espero que a Katy esteja feliz e satisfeita, pois entregou um trabalho maravilhoso feito com muito carinho. Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes, Not The End Of The Word, Champagne Problems e Tucked me pegaram de jeito. Taca stream na lenda!

    This is such a special album. It brings joy, hope and resilience through beautifully written lyrics and strong melodies. You can cry and literally dance through your tears listening to this album. I would also like to highlight that the melancholic theme portrayed on the cover by a sad clown is brilliant, once it can be translated as vulnerability wich is something she really showed inThis is such a special album.

    And I really liked this album. And I'm a fan of the gaga and even though I'm angry with Katy's fans going on chromatica and lowering their grade, I'm not going to give a bad grade to the smile. We must grow up and stop this pointless fight. GROW!!!

    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).
