    best album ever!you know i started to be a katycat since the witness era the era that katy fell off i mean when everyone left her but yeah in the middle of that i became a katycat coz how she acts to her fans and how lovely she is,you know a sweet momma girl.i don't even know that time why they left katy?because of her haircut?dang it,it doesn't matter about looks it's about what is thebest album ever!you know i started to be a katycat since the witness era the era that katy fell off i mean when everyone left her but yeah in the middle of that i became a katycat coz how she acts to her fans and how lovely she is,you know a sweet momma girl.i don't even know that time why they left katy?because of her haircut?dang it,it doesn't matter about looks it's about what is the meaning of music and how she acts to everyone.is it because of that weird looking album?ya'll r tasteless,song isn't all about how it beats to me it is also a way to put a message u want to say to someone and when u listen to every witness song you will find what is the trully meaning of all it on.and witness passed and hey i am still here for katy until we knew that katy is pregnant and about to release this awaited album it was so beautiful i don't know just i am so happy for her coz she just pased all the bash and what society treats o her and that's because all of daisy dove.i am so proud of katy i love how he never left us katycats thru her depression era.if this smile album flopped again.well we don't care anymore we only focus to each other and for me that is the most important thing between artist and fans,i also love how she doesn't care about charts anymore,yeah what is charts for?for fame?for viral?for new fans?tsk who needs a lots or loads of fans when almost all of them are just there for trendy or just coz of ur looks,even katy will be forgotten by society i promise me and truly katycats will now we will always there for katy no matter what.… Expand

    Well once again we get another generic album from Perry as if it’s not the same album we’ve all heard for the past 10 years. We’re bored. The pop music is tuned to Katy pop lane that she’s afraid to step out of. Hopefully the smile era will bring more fun and excitement because the album isn’t doing it.

    think the music critics are so biased to katy. Why? This album is her best. Also, pitchfork told us that why now? Well the answer is its because we're in a pandemic and the songs fits nowadays. Also critics saying that it is uninspired. Maybe they don't know katy had gone through in the last 3 years

    Never Really Over and Harleys in Hawaii are the only songs that are still listenable for me, she is still experimenting but doesn’t change the fact that the album itself is trash. Although it might be slightly better than witness, this deserves a 0 because it is too generic pop music like 6 years ago. It’s not 2010,pc but 2020

    Bubblegum Pop Princess Katy is defiantly far far away in the clouds somewhere. Although Smile has a cheerful sprinkle of songs within its 12 track collection, it simply does not stand out as solid album - especially with the creative and versatile Katy we expect.

Although Smile has a cheerful sprinkle of songs within its 12 track collection, it simply does not stand out as solid album - especially with the creative and versatile Katy we expect. The journey within the album seems messy, slightly sloppy and poorly executed - I couldn’t see a clear, solid album. If you are expecting Pop or any genre that might POP IT in the club, this wannabe indie album isn’t for you. A few songs you may play three times but after that they’ll be on your skip list.… Expand

    There's a reason if Katy's not getting the commercial success she used to in Teenage Dream. She's never evolved musically. She's always playing it safe. This album makes no exception : It is a bland pop record that just sounds like some Teenage dream B-sides. The only way she could get out of this critical and commercial flop curse would be to surprise her public with a more audacity.

    Algumas canções boas mais não inovadoras, o álbum em si e bem fraco e mal planejado.

    This album really brought me an incredible emotion. As a Katy Perry fan since 2010, I finally got to see direct contact with the fans with totally transparent and sincere music.
    Resilient, for example, is a song where she talks about her depression and how relisilient she had to be to be able to overcome it all.

    Katy Perry shows us once that reinventing herself is not a problem for her. In this album he gives us excellent rhythms, lyrics and excellent messages, simply inspired from the day to day of his life.

    Um álbum incrível! Um dos melhores álbuns dela e um dos melhores lançamentos do ano. Sempre tenho uma expectativa boa pela Katy mas esse álbum realmente me surpreendeu , todas as musicas tem potencial para serem singles e até hitar. Uma pena todo hate e boicote que ela vem passando.

    1. "Never Really Over"
    You can't deny that this song will make you move. It's fun, liberating and it's just beautifully put together. THE chorus honey is such a punch in the face (in a good way). This song makes me want to buy a long flowy dress, buy a long flowy wig, go in a field of flowers and simply feel liberated with nature. It's a great song. period.
    2. "Cry About It Later" To    1. "Never Really Over"
    You can't deny that this song will make you move. It's fun, liberating and it's just beautifully put together. THE chorus honey is such a punch in the face (in a good way). This song makes me want to buy a long flowy dress, buy a long flowy wig, go in a field of flowers and simply feel liberated with nature. It's a great song. period.

    2. "Cry About It Later"
    To me this is a song about hooking up and I'm here for it. The instrumentals, the lyrics, her tones to her voice fit very well. It makes me feel sexy and not guilty about the thoughts I have with hookup culture. Sometimes we all need to just have a little fun and that's okay (if it's safe) and this song is a great way to express that vibe/feeling. I love it. ALSO THE GUITAR at the end gets me every time such a good 80's vibe.

    3. "Teary Eyes"
    This song for me is like the post pardon depression that comes after hooking up and figuring out your love life. it's so relatable. I LOVE the instrumental so much. It defiantly gives me a lot of gay club vibes. I can literally picture dancing to this in the club feeling depressed as hell while drunk and alone but having a good time enjoying being present with the vibe. This song describes that feeling. It's so so so good.

    4. "Daises"
    It's a resilience kind of song about not giving up even though you have on yourself because of others idea of living. It's a good song to listen to driving by the beach or the road. I love the liberating vibe to it.

    5. "Resilient"
    Lyrically I like it. It's cute but I'm not a fan of the instrumental. Every time I hear it it reminds me of one the "The Legend Of Zelda" games.

    6. "Not The End Of The World"
    This. Song. Is. EVERYTHING. This is such a different vibe for Katy and I love it so much. The bass drop, the lyrics, her voice and the instrumental is so well put together. I love how dark it feels but it also has this transformer movie action scene kind of vibe to it. I really love it.

    7. "Smile"
    I think its cute.

    8. "Champagne Problems"
    I think of myself at a very fancy dinner party and just feeling sexy with this one lol. I love her voice vocally. The chorus is fun, catchy and is a good song to really move your hips to.

    9. "Tucked"
    I love the instrumental. The beat makes you move a lot and I'm here for it. my favorite part in the song is the "Lalalalala" part in the chorus. It's just pure endorphins lol. I like this one a lot.

    10. "Harleys In Hawaii"
    This is also a different vibe with Katy. It's very slow but sexy and her voice fits perfectly with the vibe of the song. It's very chill. HER high note at the end is amazing also. It's a good listen.

    11. "Only Love"
    I like the message with the song. That's pretty much it.

    12. "What Makes A Woman"
    I LOVE this song. It sounds so beautiful. Seeing a lot of woman struggle in my life this hits home. It's very liberating and self excepting.

    FINAL THOUGHTS:
    There is a lot of layers to this album that a lot of people don't see and I feel like that's because people have this generalized Idea of Katy and don't see her beyond her hit making. Wether this album charts or not this is an era of hers that represents hope and losing and I'm here for it. I like how she sticks to deeper meanings of situations today but keeps it hopeful in this album. It shows a lot of power and struggle of standing up but wanting to sit down and relax about your current issues in life. It has a lot of pop vibes and if you're not a pop person this is not necessarily the album you're going to gravitates towards. There are some elements I wasn't a fan of instrumentally but it's apart of her story telling and I respect that it's a different sound she's playing with to keep us talking about it. Overall I love the album. A lot of the songs are catchy, laid back, fun and liberating. Good Job Katheryn.    … 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).
