    The fifth studio album Smile by Katy Perry is without doubt one the best pop album ever released this year along side Future Nostalgia.
    The cohesion of every song is groundbreaking!

    Katy, as usual, delivered a well-done, very well-written, produced album. But this one is more than special because it is about a real process of healing, the album starts with pain and it ends with self-worth, self recognition and care. She shared with us her life and her mind in the deepest way and did that trough great sounds, beats, lyrics, rhythm and melody.

    So beautiful and authentic. Essential message about resilience. Dancing and contagious. There are no words to define Katy Perry's talent.

    Finding some difficulties to understand such harsh reviews by the critics, also realising that most reviews are more focussed on comparing miss Perry Bloom to other female pop stars rather than focussing on reviewing the music.
    This is such a great pop album, I can even say almost on the same level of her sophomore album Teenage Dream.
    I have big hopes for this record to go well.

    It is the most incredible and profound album Katy has ever given us. Each song conveys something to you and provokes deep feelings. Without a doubt one of his best works.

    Coeso, cumpre a proposta de ser leve e deixar uma calma dentro de nós, mesmo com letras que falam sobre a difícil caminhada de Katy pós witness, o álbum passa a sensação de liberdade e gratidão.

    I think it's the best album in this year so far. Cry About It Later, Never Really Over and Only Love are my favs. What Makes A Woman slaps too. I'm glad she's back.

    She is the best and deserves all the love in the world! It’s so far one of her best albuns, mainly because she has just given birth to a beautiful baby, and for the time we are living, it definitely fulfills the role of bringing a smile back.

    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).
