    An album that tells a story of Overcoming, Resilience, Joy and Love in a pure and sensitive way. Thank you Katy Perry for once again bringing something of quality.

    Álbum péssimo e sem coesão alguma a Katy sonha em se comparar com suas rivais

    Best album released by Katy Perry. The album is full of bangers, growers with different flavors and feels in it. One of the most amazing album released in 2020. A skipless one actually. Can be AOTY.

    talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    Katy Perry mantém seu legado de estrela pop ao entregar um álbum super coeso, com letras pessoais e que demonstram uma fase de sua vida muito inspiradora.

    Born to be brilliant. Perfect pop sound.
    This album is so inspirational. Each song has a special part of the amazing story of healing she went through. This is the light we needed. And this is definitely bringing back that SMILE.

    Smile quizá es mi álbum favorito de bubblegum pop de este año, siento que este momento de Katy es armónico de principio a fin es una vibra que te mantiene feliz todos los 35 minutos que dura el álbum. Lírica y armónicamente es un álbum sobre crecimiento personal y eso me hace quererlo a un más.

    This is definitely Katy's best album! The songs are in sync and the whole record tells a story of self-acceptance, love and resilience. I felt connected to each word of each song. I understood the message and that cross my heart like a bullet of love and gratitude! Katy, now finally I got my smile back! Thank you for that. You are incredible and the industry just want to be cruel with you.This is definitely Katy's best album!

    This album is amazing! Katy managed to make a light, cohesive album and at the same time with a super strong message! He found the right point between Witness and Prism, leaving his brand so well known.

    Amazing record. Unlike anything she has done before. She took a risk and stepped outside of her bubble. Arguably some of her best work. Emphasis on the tracks ‘Cry About It Later’ and ‘Only Love’.

    It’s a pop album that’s a huge step up from her previous album witness but still some songs are a huge high ‘never really over’ ‘not the end of the world’ and ‘cry about it later’ but huge lows such as ‘smile’ and ‘Resilient ’

    Even though many of the Katy Cats are rating "folklore" at 0 I'm going to be truthful and unbiased and give Katy what she deserves

    And at the height of the end of his long-lived dominance of the global pop scene, Perry brings one of his most cohesive and brilliant albums that even those who are afraid of clowns would dare to smile

    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).
