    This album made me feel something i was wanting to feel in a LONG time, the production, lyrics and vocals, is just what i call "what pop is about", because this is real pop for me, REAL POP.

    Katy Perry uses this composition method, which is motivate herself writting songs with that sadness or that lowness, and making it the opposite, helping us to get up and stay chill! That is pop for

    There are some really great songs on this albums and some songs I plan on never listening to again. It's far from her prime pop hits but album as a whole is just a message of empowerment which is great but it's been the same message through the entire album.

    Definitivamente Katy Perry nos está uno de los mejores álbumes de su carrera, todas sus canciones fácilmente se pueden convertir en hits, lo triste es que la crítica la odia, pero no todo es malo, ella vive de sus fans y de las personas que les gusta su música, no de los críticos, que al parecer tienen mierd***a en los oídos de escuchar tanta Chromatica.

    So the thing about Smile is that it's not a bad album by any means, hence why I don't really understand the poor reviews it's been receiving. In my opinion, it is a solid collection of fun pop songs that are bound to make you sing along and hum the melodies throughout the day. Katy has obviously learned a few lessons from the disastrous 'Witness' and she didn't mix woke politics with musicSo the thing about Smile is that it's not a bad album by any means, hence why I don't really understand the poor reviews it's been receiving. In my opinion, it is a solid collection of fun pop songs that are bound to make you sing along and hum the melodies throughout the day. Katy has obviously learned a few lessons from the disastrous 'Witness' and she didn't mix woke politics with music this time around; the producers and songwriters she collaborated with on Smile are also a step up from those on Witness since the entire album sounds very cohesive and well-produced. Some of my favorite moments on the album came in the form of "Teary Eyes," "Cry About It Later," and "Never Really Over" -- all of which are quite reminiscent of the Teenage Dream era, and a reminder why Katy is still a force to be reckoned with in the pop world. Besides the familiar Katy Perry sound, you'll also see/hear Katy exploring some new territories, most notably on "Harleys in Hawaii" which has become somewhat of a fan favorite due to how underrated it is. However, for the majority of the album -- Katy seems to stick to what works for her and I don't really see a problem with that. The only bone to pick I have with the album is how messy and all over the place the promotional cycle had been with Katy releasing too many singles before the album came out, so the element of surprise was greatly reduced for me as I was already familiar with like 35% of the album. Also, some of the singles were just not good single choices, e.g. "Daisies" and "Smile" are ok album tracks, but they're most certainly not strong single material. Expand

    A bit improvement after Witness. Not that much childish as it's predecessor and that is a huge plus. Who's expecting sweet pop for teen girls from 30 years old woman.
    My personal pick is Daisies - a strong touching ballad that is for me her strongest song since Prism era.
    Tbh, I don't know what to think about Smile. It's catchy, a bit childish but not much. But I¨ve got a feeling a heard

    Harleys in Hawaii is perfect easy going song to hear in the beach bar, One of albums pick as well.
    The rest of the songs are average. No bad song at all in my opinion.

El album comienza bien, pero el mismo llega a tener errores, pero los mismos no hacen malo al album, tal vez no sea perfecto el mismo, pero es agradable al escucharse. Por ejemplo el album llega a tener momentos cumbres como HIH, CP, NRO, etc, siendo estas canciones muy frescas y muy bien producidas. Pero el album tambien tiene momentos malos como Resilient donde la voz y el ritmo no van de acuerdo a lo que la canción trata de transmitir. Por otra parte mejora los ritmos a comparación de su anterior album "Witness". Principalmente este album es bueno, aunque tiene errores, pero es uno de los mejores trabajos de Katy Perry y verdaderamente se nota el esfuerzo y la mejora Expand

The album is one of the only albums this year that actually tells a story, the plot of the songs have meaning. This album is about Katy’s experience during the hardest years of her personal and career life and how she was able to come out of it and truly smile again. Tracks like “Cry About It Later” and “Teary Eyes” help unfold the first act of the album which shows her dealing with unhappiness but having to keep going for her career and well-being and just trying to ignore her sadness. The second act of the album is opened by her iTunes number one single “Daisies” and track 5 on the album “Resilient”. These songs are the empowerment stories of the album. Resilient explains Katy’s way of pushing back the hate and hard times she’s experienced and ultimately being resilient and pushing through to grow through the cracks that have hurt her. “I know the higher I climb, the harder the wind blows” is a lyric from Resilient and is explaining that when you reach your peak, is when life hits you the hardest. This is the middle of the album because Katy is past the sadness and she is using all her confidence and strength to push through to find her happiness again. Finally, Act III of the album is introduced by the title track “Smile”. The song is about how Katy got her smile back and that she’s grateful for her life. During the third act, we experience a release of pop bangers such as “Tucked” and “Only Love” that introduce the most pop-sounding and happy songs on the album. This album is outstanding in the way the songs are listed and structured to tell a specific story which is really hard to pull of and yet, Perry pulls it off again. Expand

    The Smile Album has a good sound proposal to bring joy and less hatred, and is proving it through the critics who are trying at all costs to destroy the singer's reputation, because for them she will never be good enough to evolve, it gets to be sick and wicked with a pop star with more than 11 years of career.

    Katy's range is visible in this album and she's continually evolving as an artists. Her impeccable production and lyricism is always on point and DA don't know why other critics don't appreciate her that much, like are they deaf or sumn or just attacking her personally. Perry literally bloom right through the cracks, her vocals for each song are also present, it can either levitate us through the rainbows or blow us like Daisies blown by air in Himalayas. To wrap it up, Smile is her best album to date, a contender for AOTY at Grammys (but they're trash so...) nevertheless, this album deserves more. Katheryn Elizabeth Bloom is here.

    A very good album, you can perceive her healing process and the transmission of feelings as the album progresses, everything together becomes a ball of resilience that helps to return to both her and the public the smile that was lost

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. #Smile is the Album of the Year! Truly the Most Acclaimed Album. NO skips, No boring songs. ALL tracks will get played. For better skin glow. Katy Perry did fed us with the real nature of showing Smile with her different stories of love, inspiration and life imperfections. Very incomparable with Teenage Dream & Prism. Its not a Pop Music Alnum, but full of elemental tracks. This is truly a POP PERFECTION of 2020. Tasteless reviews from those paparazzis are not true. The Queen here is really back!! Imagine Katy Perry is pregnant and manage to work really hard to show this masterpiece. Such a hardworking woman and dedicated artist. KatyCats are really lucky stanning Katy Perry. Expand

    Smile shows maturity and evolution. Katy Perry in this album we find the way she growth and progression.
    After an era of experimenting new sounds, that was not for every person. Smile is funny, magical and powerful all in the same amount of energy.

    Smile (2020): O álbum tem bons singles, consegue fazer com que a maioria dos fãs dancem com as músicas. Pode não ser o melhor álbum do ano, mas é um álbum com bastante potencial. Nota: 7.4

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Literally everything I needed in these rough times, I mean, I saw sh*tfork’s review where they (or him most likely) ask WHY NOW? I mean, WHY NOT NOW? That’s the question I ask to them, like, every single human being on earth had plans for this year and they got cancelled/postponed, literally I think every single human on earth has felt like sh*t during these times and honestly (in my case) music is something that has been making me hold on, it’s given me something to hold on, literally all of the records released this year so far have been very important to me til this day and I think they always will exactly because I heard them for the first time in THESE TIMES, they gave me hope, happiness, joy, sadness, coziness, they lifted me up a HUNDRED TIMES when I was losing almost everything in me to keep fighting, they gave me a reason to SMILE. They made me dance, and though it was in my bedroom, they did. All f*cking records have done that to me, Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa, Chromatica by Lady Gaga, folklore by Taylor Swift and now SMILE by Katy Perry. Not to mention the non-album (yet) songs that Miley, Cardi, Nicki, Doja, Selena, Ariana and all of them have given to us. Now, focusing on Smile, you have my word that this record will make you; (1) Smile (like it’s title); (2) Dance and (3) Feel better that you were feeling 1 minute before. Every single song gives you a different feeling, new motivation, fun, emotions, it’s honestly amazing. You will NOT be disappointed, I assure you that. Katy Perry poured her soul in this record and I’m really, really grateful for that. Thank you for making me SMILE again, Katy, lots of love for you (not even the 0.1% of what you deserve). 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).
