    A good album, it tells a story, it makes you wish more and more, and it gives it to you, the POP PERFECTION of an album, all this made by Katy Perry, his best album to the date without any question.

    Katy Perry, with this new musical work, shows us how she has matured over the years and how much she has improved in the lyrics of her songs, we can listen to a bop like cry about it later and then listen to a song like resilient which gives us hope that everything will be fine and that you can handle everything, it definitely has many songs that can be a complete smash, some of those areKaty Perry, with this new musical work, shows us how she has matured over the years and how much she has improved in the lyrics of her songs, we can listen to a bop like cry about it later and then listen to a song like resilient which gives us hope that everything will be fine and that you can handle everything, it definitely has many songs that can be a complete smash, some of those are teary eyes and not the end of the world, Katy made this album to make everyone dance and make them smile, she did, the "professional" critics are not as "professional" as they call themselves, the only thing they do is compare Katy with other artists when there is no similarity with any.… Expand

    katy proved by A and B that she is an artist who conveys truth and always delivers her own messages of light through her work, I am happy to know that she does not need the validation of critics to feel happy being a real artist, thanks for make so many people happy with your international smile

    O album é bastante coerente, e é difícil levar a sério a crítica especializada quando se tem um trabalho equilibrado, forte e tão dedicado quanto este. Congratulations, Katy Perry. You did that! I'm so proud of you. Thanks for make me smile =]

    Katy Perry in every way got it right on her newest album, Smile. It is consistent and shows how Perry is still an A-List singer who always delivers quality work.

    Joyful, hopeful, it brings a smile on the face. What we needed in this 2020. Katy Perry is grown and we can see that in this album, but still delivering a pop-perfection album, like only her can do.

    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).
