    Smile lacks an engaging production, something that screams passion, same with Perry’s writing, instead of hovering on the surface of the emotion she tries to provoke, she could dig deep and straightup go literal with the happiness, hope, and resilience she wants to project.

    Not the best but boy worst.
    It just sounds like what she has done in the past with the difference that now she cries for the Witness flop

    O álbum tem músicas boas de fato, porém sua divulgação inicial acabou pecando, lançando singles fracos enquanto as melhores musicas ( Cry about it later & Teary Eyes ) presentes no álbum estavam apenas preenchendo lugar no álbum.

    Uma verdadeira bomba radioativa. Coloquei no spotify porque uma amiga me pediu pra dar stream e disse que a katy tava precisando, mas infelizmemte quando dei play minha familia ficou tão traumatizada e intoxicada com a radiação que tivemos que sair de casa por 5h pra contaminação sair da nossa sala de estar.

    Smile is the worst album released by the artist, it sounds completely dated and forgotten in the middle of her vast discography. What Katy Perry needs is to find herself artistically, and she fails in this project. One of the worst albums of 2020.

    There are good songs such as Harleys in Hawaii, Tucked and Smile (Song), but after what she did in Witness, I was waiting for something really new such as what she did in Harleys in Hawaii. That is the reason for my score: Please, Katy. Come with something new and fresh. Bring back that pop star that enchaincheted us

Daisies totally cuts the mood of the first two songs, since the first one was released as a loose single and is shamelessly out of the vibe of the album, then Resiliente and Não the end goes back to the vibe of the first two and Sorriso arrives and totally cuts the vibe again.

    Katy Perry is back with another album. Pregnant and in clown uniform. Everyone who knows me knows that I grew out of Katy's music when I was like 14. Her music went from being bops over bops for my 11 year old self to giving me ear cancer now. But I keep giving her music a chance. I should probably accept that I'm never gonna like it again.

But I keep giving her music a chance. I should probably accept that I'm never gonna like it again.

    We have 5 previously released songs on here. We have the generic "Never Really Over" that also could’ve been sung by Zara Larsson, the typical 2010 Katy kidz bop material with "Smile", "Daisies", a song that is supposed to be deep but the fact that it sounded dated on arrival takes away all the attention from its lyrics, "Harleys in Hawaii", which seems to be a fan favorite but to me it sounds like an Ariana Grande reject and the terribly boring "What Makes a Woman", which at least has decent lyrics.

    What else is left to unpack here? A lot of bland stuff ("Champagne Problems", "Resilient"), more dated stuff ("Tears Eyes"), I don’t know what "Tucked" was supposed to be and "Only Love" which sounds like something you've heard a million times before but at least it has good lyrics. Oh and with "Not the End of the World" we have another song that sounds like Ariana didn’t want it on "thank u, next". But that one is actually one of the better songs on the album. "Cry About It Later" has an interesting and different production in the verses but then its chorus comes on and ruins the whole thing. So all in all this is another 1/10 project from Katy for me. The album is pretty bland as it sounds either generic, boring or dated. Congrats on your baby Katy but this album was not it. If I had to pick favorites I would point out "Not the End of the World". That one justifies the 1 point in my opinion. Yeah.    … Expand

    That’s literally good body work. That’s not 10/10, but I don’t agree with critics, why do they always try to make her dirty? That’s unprofessional at all. Album feels like a story with 4 chapters. And it really works! That’s obviously one of the pest pop album this year, Katy did that, again.

    Em meio tanta negatividade, Katy serviu um álbum cheio de alegria, vocais e muito conceito e ainda por cima com uma produção maravilhosa que faz o impulso de dançar e sorrir ser incontrolável! Dentre tantas músicas negativas lançadas recentemente, é bom poder parar e só se divertir escutando música boa.

    update: envelheceu muito mal, as músicas se demonstraram bem fracas.

    As a Katy Perry fan who has seen her live twice and has stanned her music since 2010, it has been hurtful to see the downfall she's been experiencing since her previous musical era. Seeing her depressed due to the lack of interest the general public suddenly had in her because of a simple haircut has been extremely unpleasant.

Seeing her depressed due to the lack of interest the general public suddenly had in her because of a simple haircut has been extremely unpleasant. With "Smile" I was expecting a project about self esteem and healing and well, after a couple listens, I don't really understand the point of this album at all.
    Since she announced her pregnancy, I thought KP5 was being called "Bloom" due to her marriage with Orlando Bloom and the little life that was blooming inside her. Narrating her own personal story of huring, healing and loving and having the color green as the main attraction of the album, "Bloom" would start with "Daisies" as its introduction track. Also, why not rescuing Camila Cabello's inital idea of a "The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving" album with a midnight sound (comparable to "Not the End of the World" (aka my personal favorite) and some deep lyrics? I would have been totally in for this personal musical diary for her daughter to show her the bad and the beautiful parts of this world or lesson for the people who don't believe/regret the existene of mental illnesses due to Internet bullying.
    As for the artistic direction, I think this has been one of the most confusing factors on this record since once everything as flower-themed with "Really Never Over" and now its suddenly focused on clowns; this has just been a negative consequence of bad planification that has caused me a couple headaches.
    Anyway, focusing on the music, "Smile" has a less teen sound than Katy's previous well-known records and focuses more on a less colorful and more realistic artistic expression by touching a bit of politics and a tiny bit of loving. At some points the songs feel a bit recycled and monotone arriving to a soulness pop kind of music that destroys your heart if you are sensitive when it comes to melancholy. The album in its whole is kind of cohesive but lacks the charisma and magnetism that all Katy Perry projects have. This is just... boring and unbelivable for an A-list pop artist who has all the money and all the help she needs to compose a 5-star album with a great intro and a way better outro than "What Makes a Woman".
    Maybe "Smile" isn't a Katy Perry creation but a boomer Capitol Records one. Perry has been around for more than a decade and has delivered a ton of memorable songs during her career. From "I Kissed a Girl" to "Roar", I am sure everyone knows her material to the point that it is very difficult to chose which is the signature song of Katy Perry. "do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" is still a meme and "you're gonna hear me roar" is still a war cry for late nostalgic teenagers. Every album by the California gurl since 2008 to 2015 has been a hit to remember With the catchiest lyrics alongside the most pure pop sound, Perry created the brightest most colorful cartoon world everyone dreamed to travel to. Using the early formula/road to success of the late 2000s based on sending songs to thousands of radio stations massively, every project by Perry was meant to be a number one single. The arrival of 2-minute songs and adaptation to the new musical platforms like Spotify, YouTube or Amazon Music after a couple years of progressive drop in sales due to piracy is a very important factor that has made the general public lose many interest in Katy Perry. If you don't adapt to the current situations in order to make your product profitable and worth a listen, you'll fail. Its not me who says that, both science and common sense do. Thus, I really think that the faillure of Perry and its image downfall has a lot to do with the ones who are above her. Maybe signing a less traditional discography such as Republic, Columbia or RCA could be a smart move for her career. Why do I say that? Because I really feel like they could have surrounded her with other people than... Charlie Puth. Like... wtf man; just stop it, this duo won't bring us anything good. Maybe working again with musical mathematical Max Martin or Frank Dukes could make her reach commercial success once again. But, honestly, I am not sure if she wants to. Maybe having a little less spotlight is what she needs. Maybe this is just how she feels and does not really know how to express it. Maybe this is Katy Perry know. Now the question is: are we loving Katy or dislike her? At the end, she is the girl who has filled our house of color and joy through music and helped us have the best time of our lives.    … Expand

It's a shame to hear such mediocre work, poorly produced and written by someone like Katy Perry. From Katy Perry we expected two things and one did not like her demanding audience at all. Bad for Katy and her team.

    The epitome of a 'meh' album, released 3 years after the disaster of Witness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1. NEVER REALLY OVER.- canción con potencial, me recuerda a la época de Teenage Dream. Sin embargo me parece un poco mal calculado para ser la canción que abra el disco, yo la habría puesto para cerrar. Empieza un poco de golpe y me hace pensar que solo es una compilación de canciones al azar nada mas. Error en detalles pero linda canción. TOP
    2.- CRY ABOUT IT LATER.- entiendo la relación con Smile y el hecho de que el álbum haya sido terapéutico para Katy pero me parece un poco pobre en letras. Musicalmente si me parece una mezcla equilibrada entre Pop dance y melancolía pero no es una canción muy recordable. El coro me parece demasiado sencillo. NEXT.
    3.- TEARY EYES.- AHORA SI esta si me gustó mas. Sigue con el concepto del anterior track pero melódicamente mejor trabajada. Al llegar al coro puedes sentir la profundidad de "just keep on dancing with those teary eyes". ¿Potencial como sencillo? no mucho pero es algo que escucharía fuera del disco. TOP
    4.- DAISIES.- En cuanto a letra y melodía no tiene nada que desear. Mantenemos la onda pop nostálgico - terapéutico. Como parte del disco suena bastante bien pero a pesar de sencillo no me parece el gran trabajo como para ser exitazo. Bien pero hasta ahí. NEXT
    5.- RESILIENT.- No estoy muy conforme con la melodía del coro pero linda letra. Me hace recuerdo un poco a Fireworks en cuanto a composición. En general me parece tierna pero un poco aburrida. No la escucharía de nuevo. NEXT
    6.- NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.- Me suena a la versión depresiva de Dark Horse y una muy buena adaptación! Lo único que le cambiaría un beat un poco mas agresivo al terminar el coro. Por fuera de eso MI FAVORITA DEL DISCO HASTA AHORA! DEFINITIVAMENTE DEBE SER SENCILLO. TOP
    7.- SMILE.- De nuevo la escucho similar a anteriores trabajos es un poco como la fórmula KP. Pop fresco ya no tan melancólico en la melodía. Me parece buena opcion como sencillo porque es bastante pegajosa. No es LA GRAN CANCION pero no es mala tampoco. MEH
    8.- CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS.- Buena producción de sonido. Me gusta porque es como una canción personal pero no llega a sonar tan depresiva como anteriores. De nuevo dentro del disco me gusta pero no creo que pueda triunfar en un general public. De todos modos creo que tiene potencial como sencillo. NEXT
    9.- TUCKED.- Me gusta mucho más! la guitarra de fondo me da una vibra de One Of The Boys y me encanta. Melodía genial. Letra en su punto. De nuevo creo que tiene potencial para sencillo pero no uno sobresaliente. En general me gusta. TOP
    10.- HARLEYS IN HAWAIi.- Sale del esquema de catarsis del álbum pero musicalmente le da el toque que necesitaba. Como sencillo me parece una buena canción que con la promoción correcta podría haber tenido mas éxito. De nuevo no es un sencillo sobresaliente como lo que conociamos de Katy pero no es una cancion para nada mala. TOP
    11.- ONLY LOVE.- Linda balada. Me suena un poco a Zedd o Chainsmokers. Podria haber sido una linda colaboracion. De nuevo, linda cancion con potencial para sencillo pero necesitamos sencillos sobresalientes por ahora, tal ves para cerrar la era. En general bien no mas. NEXT
    12.- WHAT MAKES A WOMAN.- Otra balada, esta vez un poco mas profunda pero aun al estio Katy. Melódicamente me suena bastante similar a The Climb de Miley Cyrus. En general linda cancion pero me parece mas para los fans que para un publico en general. NEXT

    EN GENERAL: No es el comeback de Katy que todos esperábamos. Tiene canciones con potencial de sencillo pero son sencillos en calidad Witness no mas. Lo cohesivo del álbum se siente relativamente pero más que todo en las letras. Le doy un plus por el arte (fanmade). Sin embargo no me parece un trabajo muy bien pensado, sino mas como un álbum personal, de catarsis, un poco desesperado por lanzar algo y para complacer a sus fans y que puedan compartir con ella este momento en su vida. Además que solo contiene 8 canciones nuevas (4 ya las conociamos). Quedo un poco corto. Definitivamente no es un álbum que volvería a escuchar. Sorry Katy    … Expand

    sadly katy produced a mixed bag of pop radio hits with highlights (never really over, cry about it later, harleys in hawaii) and EPIC lows like resilient, tucked and what makes a woman.

    Personalmente la ritengo mediocre come sempre. L’unica differenza è che ha veramente scocciato con queste canzoni tutte uguali dal 2011.

    Meh. With Katy, at least you usually get some great, banging singles. Not even those can save the album. Its just....there. Again, meh.

    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).
