    Katy Perry nos dio lo que queríamos incluso más, superó las expectativas de la mayoría en general, es el mejor álbum del año.

    her best album, the best album of the year and one of the best on the pop scene Katy ventured and innovated by launching trends the vocals are well marked and clean songs marked by her powerful voice that transcends to soft with perfection she delivered her best, the best song on the album is tucked a difficult choice as they are all practically on the same level.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Katy Perry’s fifth album tells us a story of how she improved after her depression. The albums speaks about the depression so softly and how she diminished the sadness to get better. Great sounds and production, not equal to neither her last album Witness nor Prism. Excellent Katy Perry!… Expand

    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).
