    Soo good, miss perry did it again, the under rated artis made an album with the most pure tunes, an example for the pop that is almost dead nowadays and only some legends keep doing like Katy Perry

    I think this album has been the most wonderful in the career of Katy, I think she worked a lot in this album for us, for her Katycats, and I really really love it.
    Thank you Katy, for your amazing music!

    Smile may be the best album ever released by Katy Perry and 2020. With themes like resilience, empowerment, light and love, Katy manages to convey the message of "everything will be fine, you will recover your smile despite everything". The album is cohesive, starting with the trinity "Never Really Over", "Cry About It Later" and "Teary Eyes", an act that may be the best of this album.Smile may be the best album ever released by Katy Perry and 2020.

    Her best album so far.
    Divided in a very smart way into four trilogies telling the story of Katheryn Hudson.
    It's fun and upbeat, yet melancholic while making you re-think about many sides of your life: suffering, crying, healing, fighting, fantasizing, loving, caring and surely, smiling.
    Thank you Katheryn!

    This new Katy Perry story is something that was unexpected and WE LOVE the unexpected . On this new album she shows the world that even though life can bring you down, at the end you can get up and SMILE. Nothing lasts forever, not even sadness. Most of the tracks make you wanna dance, IT IS A DANCE RECORD that makes you feel joy and excitement. Katy Perry did it again.

    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.
