    SMiLE. Un disco bailable, vulnerable en sus acusticos y fantastico. Te transporta como fan a una felicidad unica.. sus sonidos fuera de lo que acostumbeaba hacer, encajan perfectamente como CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS, TEARY EYES o WHAT MAKES A WOMAN. Su trabajo es increible, diria que es su SEGUNDO mejor trabajo.

    This album is just perfect, it deserves at least one grammy because it’s just so necessary, truthful and happy. I just hope that “Not The End Of The World” is the next single!

    One of Katy's best works, a well thought out album for a much needed moment. The separation of the songs fit very well, i can't wait for the looks of these amazing songs!

    Esse álbum está perfeito, coeso e animado. Realmente veio nos salvar desta pandemia. Eu me pergunto quando, QUANDO a Katy vai ser levada a sério e todo esse hate vai parar pra cima dela.

    She returned to her best form, which is dipping into many different forms of pop and nailing them. She manages to traverse many styles and themes without it seeming cluttered or messy, which allows for an interesting and enjoyable body of work.

    Her best album. Cry About It Later and Not the End of the World are some of the best songs in her entire discography

    KATY SEMPRE SENDO LENDÁRIA! Cada faixa tem uma batida unica e isso é incrível e Teary eyes é de longe uma das melhores.

    Katy Perry delivered an incredible album this year where we were in need of resilience and encouragement. All of the songs connect, Perry's mature lyrics and vocals are constantly evolving. "Cry About It Later", "Teary Ayes" and "Not The End Of The World" are the songs that most stand out in this work. Resillient brings you to another world that is so perfect. Smile Album Of The Year.

    The critics are just reviewing everything about Katy except the album itself. The album is so much fun and really does justice to its name.

    Probably her best album. Vocally she sounds amazing, in a way she never did before.

    This album is fully amusing. There's no filler track. I could listen to the whole album through and through without hitting the skip button. And to all the critics out there making biased review, shame on all of you guys. This woman made a record out of her mind and soul but

    Absolutely love this album. I literally heard no skip. It’s the type of feel good music that we need right now in these times! I love Not The End of The World, Tucked, Daisies and so many more! I live for this album and I can see myself dancing to this for the rest of my life! Actually very good!

    Katy has always been a pop force in its best representation. Her past years depression leads us to ‘SMILE’ her most vulnerable album to date. Even though witness seems her more mature phase and has more strong sides this albums shows how good Katy Perry is as a pop artist.

    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).
