    Smile isnt just an album, it’s a reason to breathe,it's the supportive parent of your gay ass that you always wanted,it's a life experience,its a gentle caress from an old childhood love,it's a reason to get your ass out of bed and live life,it's something that kids and adults will be singing on the streets

    That is the best studio album of Katy Perry! The most cohesive album of her career.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vamos a hablar de Smile, independientemente del 10 otorgado (como fan). De forma objetiva el album se lleva un 8. Perry muestra madurez en sus letras y a pesar de que la producción del mismo recuerda mucho a Teenage Dream o Prism en el encontramos canciones con un aire fresco y renovado.
    Professional critic sucks, no han hecho más que enfocarse en la comparación con otros discos que no tienen nada que ver.
    Top Tracks (orden personal- nota objetiva)
    1) Never Really Over 10
    2) Not the end of the world 9
    3) Teary eyes 7
    4) Cry about it later 8
    5) Daisies 10
    6) Only love 9
    7) Champange Problems 8
    8) Harleys in Hawaii 9
    9) What makes a woman 7
    10) Tucked 8
    11) Smile 7
    12) Resilient 6

    Total: 8.1 :)    … Expand

    Actually, she did. She got back our smiles and we hope all the people around the world feel the same. One of her most intimate records, one of her best records.

    For me, one of the best albums of Katy's career.
    The lyrics are incredible, they touch the soul ...
    "Cry About It Later", "Not the End of the World" and "Teary Eyes" are incredible.
    "Harleys in Hawaii" is already the wrongdoer on the album ...
    Just thank Katy for this amazing album!

    El mejor álbum del 2020. Los sonidos electrónicos de cada canción hace que recordemos los grandes éxitos de los 70's 80's y 90's

    I still don't get and stand how critics are showing themselves with their reviews of the album.
    But, who am I to judge how nonprofessional their criticisms are?

    Un gran álbum de principio a fin, realmente no sé por qué la crítica “profesional” lo describe no tan bueno, a mi parecer (y del público en su mayoría) es un álbum bastante entretenido, con buenas letras y ritmos, sin duda uno de los mejores de Katy

    Con éste nuevo álbum, katy nos demuestra que es y seguirá siendo una increíble y fabulosa pop star ya que nos trajo sonidos muy diferentes a lo que ella normalmente estaba acostumbrada (Hablando en comparación con Teenage Dream) además tiene un significado muhco más profundo que Witness.
    En conclusión; Katy nos trajo el álbum obscuro y bailable que todos los fans le han pedido.

    Vulnerable, innovador y creativo. Un álbum que contiene mucha alegría entre sus versos pero que no llega a aburrir, tampoco se llega a ser muy infantil, es muy sobrio. Es más bien un álbum Smile para adultos que están en busca de su sonrisa

    This album has got to be Katy Perry's most authentic album. You can really tell that there are no more limits stopping her. She doesn't care about chart-worthy mediocre songs anymore.

    The production of this album is everything. I love everything about this album.

    A conjuntura do álbum é perfeita, as músicas, os arranjos, é uma pena que a crítica esteja tentando acabar com a carreira de uma estrela assim na cara de pau ainda sem disfarça, uma estreia espetacular, músicas que contém a alma dela

    One of her best albums yet , shown through hits like never really over , cry about it later and not the end of the world . Katys music seems to age like wine getting better with every era she enters , this album definitely deserves to go number 1 everywhere including billboard

    Com o Smile a Katy retomou seu poder e sua confiança nos proporcionando um álbum extremamente coeso com músicas poderosas como Daisies, Only Love e Resilient, além das suas batidas pop refrescantes e contagiantes que já são uma marca em sua carreira com Champagne Problems, Harleys In Hawaii, Tucked e Teary Eyes.

    Embora em 2016 a Taylor S. e, em 2020, a Lady G. tenham feito um álbum relatando seus problemas pessoas e dificuldades enfrentadas, assim como a Katy com Smile, só a mesma recebeu nota amarela neste site (até o momento), porque a crítica especializada, infelizmente, é tendenciosa e imparcial em suas avaliações...    … Expand

    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).
