    Katy, logo após dar a luz a sua primeira filha, Dayse, nos deu luz também a um trabalho mais maduro, mas mesmo assim divertido e solar, com toda certeza um dos seus melhores trabalhos.

    Katy poured her soul and love on this album and it shows because we can see her growth as a person and how having a child change her life, this is probably her best album and katy really topped witness as her best album and we can always expect her to surprise us

    Smile has a very fresh and feel-free sound that transmits good energy. The song layout is perfect, pairing similar songs together to cohesively tell an entire story. The lyrics are very honest and realistic, much of what today’s pop music lacks. Katy Perry is back and her latest album Smile is proof that if you make music from the heart, its sound will resonate with millions.

    One of her best, she went to a sound that she made her signature sound. It is an album that takes you through her depression to the mind set she has now. It deserves so much more from "critics" than clearly show how biased they are too. The albums a flawless dance album and deserves so much success.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simplesmente o melhor álbum da nossa loirinha. Coesão, conceito e aclamação nós vemos por aqui. Destaque para Not The End Of The world, Tucked e Cry About It Later que possuem uma sonoridade própria, marcante e viciante. A ex gestante serviu tudo e só a minha opinião importa!… Expand

    A Katy merece o mundo, mas o mundo não merece a Katy! Acho muita injustiça lançarem as críticas comentando mais sobre a vida pessoal dela do que do trabalho em si, mais amor e empatia por favor.

    Que álbum incrível em todas as suas dimensões, Katy trás à tona seus problemas pessoais mas ainda assim não deixa de dançar sobre elas, Smile é sobre a capacidade que você tem de superar os problemas e Katy sintetiza isso muito vem, sem dúvidas um dos melhores de sua carreira.

    Katy Perry has her SMILE back and gifts us with a masterpiece which I could describe as if resilience could be heard as sound waves. The way she externalizes the sensation of "full bloom" and the way she lets herself vulnerable and talks about important subjects, as well as recovery from depression and finding the light inside herself, make this one of her most well-produced works.

As a plus, she even gets to deliver an incredible "circus sad-clown" visual, which may seem, in a good way, controversial with the deepness of discussions in the songs. For me, it is her best reinventing since her debut.… Expand

    Amazing album from start to finish with no skips and featuring many BOPS. Katy Perry is back in full force on Smile, as it's her most personal album to date. She takes us through the highs and lows of her Witness Era and what brought her smile back.

Standout tracks on the album are: Not The End of The World, Teary Eyed, Cry About It Later, Tucked, Champagne Problems and Only Love along with favorites Never Really Over, Smile & Harley's In Hawaii. A solid effort that can literally go toe to toe with Perry's previous works Teenage Dream & Prism. If you don't like Smile then something is obviously wrong with you and you have no taste whatsoever. That's the facts and stop hating on Katy, whatever the hell did she do to you. This is hands down one of the best album's of 2020. Honestly, I hope the album gets a nomination at the 2021 Grammy's for Best Pop Vocal Performance.… Expand

    Each track is special in its own way. The vocals are perfection. Katy has proven again that she is capable of releasing an album full of hits including not the end of the world and teary eyes. Instead of comparing her to other artists, just enjoy the damn 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).
