    Katy Perry is BACK with her usual upbeat pop tracks with a modern twist!

    Every track is pop perfection and boredom within the album did not occur, if anything I was wishing to finish the album so I could go back and listen to it all over again!

    I love this record. I mean, it is really personal and the way she made the music is great.

    Smile chega em um momento que precisamos de suas canções para quebrar o gelo de um ano difícil de esquecer, Katy com seu 5° Álbum nos transporta para a discoteca que seria facilmente a sala de nossa casa, as músicas conseguem te fazer de fato sorrir.

    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).
