    This album is amazing. It is filled with empowering lyrics and songs ‘I know there’s got to be rain if I want the rainbows’ Katy sings in “Resilient”. This is a step forward from her underperformed album “Witness” back in 2017. My favourite song is “Not The End Of The World” (especially at the moment) this album sounds like a very mature Katy. This is definitely my favourite by Perry.This album is amazing. It is filled with empowering lyrics and songs ‘I know there’s got to be rain if I want the rainbows’ Katy sings in “Resilient”.

    ICNONIC. Katy's best album! Such a bop! Sadly that people hate her so much, she doesn't deserve all the hate that she gets. All negative reviews are useless and people that review negatively hate her. She's a queen and she's proved it. WE LOVE U KATY.

    definitely one of Katy's best albums. The theme, sonority and quality were great. An album full of dance hits like "Teenage Dream" and with strong and touching lyrics like "PRISM".

    Katy Perry shows us once that reinventing herself is not a problem for her. In this album he gives us excellent rhythms, lyrics and excellent messages, simply inspired from the day to day of his life.

    Um álbum incrível! Um dos melhores álbuns dela e um dos melhores lançamentos do ano. Sempre tenho uma expectativa boa pela Katy mas esse álbum realmente me surpreendeu , todas as musicas tem potencial para serem singles e até hitar. Uma pena todo hate e boicote que ela vem passando.

    I feel like the album delivers its purpose of telling a story of getting you’re confidence and smile back, the album demonstrating the stages which Katy had to go through her healing process while bring a fun beat to everything

    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).
