    Unfortunately, very poor pop album. Not much substance or creativity involved. Disappointed.

    Probablemente uno de los mejores álbumes de su carrera, ya que en las canciones trata de transmitir un mensaje frente a los problemas de la sociedad actual como el feminismo, etc.

    this is awful, looks like an playlist with discarded songs by an b-list singer...

    Katy Perry shows on her fifth studio album "Smile" songs with happy beats with important messages and her Katy Perry way of being. This album is wonderful!

    El Álbum Smile es muy bueno, tiene canciones grandiosa y me gustó mucho la temática. Katy Perry sin duda nos está dando uno de los mejores álbumes del año y eso me da mucha alegría.

    Smile tbh her best album!! This album gives of a “prism” vibe, with a couple hints of “witness” and “teenage dream”!

    De longe um dos melhores álbuns da carreira, se não o melhor. A obra de Katy mostra um processo de dor e reobtenção da felicidade pela cantora em uma jornada divertida e criativa presentes nos percalços da vida.

Nesse álbum nos é apresentado um lado humano de Perry, não necessariamente sombrio, além de mostrar sua maturidade e desapego aos padrões que lhes foram impostos em sua própria carreira. Seu crescimento de adolescente a mulher e mãe é dos principais pontos positivos desse álbum que entrega um sorriso agridoce num período turbulento na história humana.… Expand

    Listening to the album, it looks as if Katy is in a better shape than she was a few years ago. It might have become clear that she might not be a record breaker anymore, however, I think it is much more important to make music that reflects the artist’s feelings and emotions. “Smile” has definitely made me smile.

It might have become clear that she might not be a record breaker anymore, however, I think it is much more important to make music that reflects the artist’s feelings and emotions. “Smile” has definitely made me smile. It is a very Katy album — catchy pop songs, reminding me of her older records. Some of the songs give me melancholy vibes while also making me feel happy and hopeful. Initially, I was not sure if I was enjoying the title of the record, as well as the cover. Now, as the album is already out, I think that both fit the content excellently.… Expand

    This album is one of most brilliants of this year. Amazing, funny and happy, we don’t need a sad albums in this moment and Katy Perry understand that.

    Esperava um 10 mas vai levar um 0 para aprender a deixar de ser preguiçosa.
    E isso vale também para os fãs infantis da mesma. Prefiro o XSPB 03.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SOUND PRODUCTION IS SOOO OUTDATED, LYRICALLY NOTHING NEW, REPETITIVE & MANY SONGS SOUND FAMILIAR WITH OTHER ARTIST'S SONGS FROM MANY YEARS AGO
    • Never Really Over : 5/10
    • Cry About it Later : 3/10 - so repetitive
    • Teary Eyes : 7/10 - a OK song
    • Daisies: 2/10 (sounds familiar with song by Marshmallow)
    • Resilient : 1/10 (outdated production)
    • Not The End of the World : 0/10 (outdated production, didn't connect at all)
    • Smile : 1/10 (repetitive, sounds incomplete)
    • Champagne Problem : 0/10 (weird, outdated production)
    • Tucked : 7/10 (sound familiar w/ someone's song, but the hook is catchy)
    • Harleys in Hawaii : 5/10
    • Only Love : 2/10 (chorus sounds familiar, again)
    • What Makes a Woman: 2/10 (production sounds familiar, and outdated)    … Expand

    Álbum maravilhoso, todas as músicas são ótimas. O álbum conta uma história, não são simplesmente músicas aleatórias em ordem aleatória. Tem um conceito de trazer o sorriso de volta e realmente traz !!!

    It's a very cool album. Each song has a good and motivating meaning. An album that brings happiness and joy to the heart. An album that makes you face hardships and be brave and strong. The album shows you never give up in this life no matter what. This album is a living icon
    Most creative album of katy Perry And of all the time

    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).
