    Esse álbum está perfeito, coeso e animado. Realmente veio nos salvar desta pandemia. Eu me pergunto quando, QUANDO a Katy vai ser levada a sério e todo esse hate vai parar pra cima dela.

    This album is a perfect masterpiece! It brings everything we were waiting from a Katy Perry record. It is strong, show many sides of a hard moment in her life and brought some smiles back. Definitely, it is the best album in her entire career! Great job, Katy, you made me smile in a hard moment.

    She returned to her best form, which is dipping into many different forms of pop and nailing them. She manages to traverse many styles and themes without it seeming cluttered or messy, which allows for an interesting and enjoyable body of work.

    This is one of her best albums. The way she didn’t stay to her usuals music really makes you want to get up and dance. The music makes you want to smile when listening to any of the songs.

    It’s pop music, of course they sound like same old Katy Perry songs. I don’t understand what’s the point to say that. Every BTS, Drake songs sound the same to me. If anyone’s gonna complain about this, do some research about pop music, dumbass. And wtf are those critics, stop pretending professional by comparing Katy’s old music when you can’t really analyze Katy’s new music.

It perfectly documents her journey of recovery from the Witness Era till now. All the trilogies serve a different sound to the listener and gives them a personal perspective of her life. It consists of nostalgic disco influenced songs mixed perfectly with mid tempo songs talking about resilience and hope and is truly her best work in her entire career.… Expand

    My mind was blown away while listening to this album. After a long successful journey, Katy Perry gave us SMILE in a tough time for all of us. She worked on that album while pregnant and released it as a young mom. All these emotions you can hear and feel. Nothing is fake, nothing is staged.

    Starting the song with Never Really Over was a great decision, because the song got it all. It is    My mind was blown away while listening to this album. After a long successful journey, Katy Perry gave us SMILE in a tough time for all of us. She worked on that album while pregnant and released it as a young mom. All these emotions you can hear and feel. Nothing is fake, nothing is staged.

    Starting the song with Never Really Over was a great decision, because the song got it all. It is simply a HIT with its production, emptilnal depth. Just like Harley's in Hawaii, a tropical masterpiece makes me wanting to have summer right know, is from 2019. Her strongest singles from that year, for sure.
    On the album, Daisies and Smile are perfect examples of the status quo of THE Katy Perry. Deep songs with a great message. Katy Perry served.
    All the other songs on the album support the theme in an awesome way.
    Cry About It Later and Not The End Of The World are absolutely single worthy and deserved a high budget music video, which Katy Perry always delivers.
    Only Love, What Makes A Woman and Resilient are emotional mid tempo tracks showing the true Katy Perry to her fans and all of us.
    With every listen you get a new wist and new sounds in a song, truly a surprise to see a now grown Katy Perry showing us: She is the Queen of Pop and nobody can do it lile her. Other female pop stars try to change their roots and main genres to get attention. Katy Perry WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE POP PERFECTION.

    My favorites right know:

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile, what else ?

    This album contains everything that everyone loves in Katy Perry’s world. - Pop hits - Rock influences (electric guitar)
    - Trap similar to Dark Horse (« Not the end of the World »)
    - two ballads with judiciously picked lyrics All of this in a perfect, light ratio; fresher and more promising than her previous record « Witness » (which in my opinion had too many slow songs).

    It has nostalgic songs you will instantly want to sing along to («Never Really Over», «Resilient»), and several fresh anthems («Tucked», «Champagne problems »). Even the ballads are catchy, especially « Only love » which reminds me of one of her previous tracks, « Pendulum »).

    The ones I adored at first listen : «Cry about it later», « Resilient », «Not the end of the World»).

    Not only can you say that Katy Perry is BACK, but also that her record is even better than the two latest ones !!!
    The « There it is, Katheryn » at the end of the last song made me think « Yes, there is your best piece of work, Katy ».    … Expand

Let’s clarify one point the same reviewers who hate her can’t review her album (it’s common sense). Plus their opinions don’t matter because teenage dream did not get high scores in the past but today they’re using it as a reference ? Let me laugh.

Katy Perry thought about suicide in the past era and it will not happen again, impartial criticism will never be able to take her smile off again. If you are so bitter, #Smile! ;) LOVE & LIGHT. So proud of you, gurl!

    As cliche as it could get, Smile made me... smile. Pretty sure it’s what she’s trying to simply achieve. It was playful, relieving, adventurous, not monotonous. A great pop record that is more worth looking into after witnessing her lose her smile and getting it back again. Thank you for taking us with you on that journey, Katheryn!

    I see critics are unimpressed, judging Katy Perry as a person unprofessionally than the work of art itself. If not, attacking her creativity without the context of her growth in the industry. I won’t be dwelling much on negativity as this is a positive review of a positive album. The mother-to-be intends well and we will be supporting!    … Expand

    the way katy misconstructed and redefined what it meant to convey and obtain the concupiscent anomalistic clearance showing us that idiosyncrasy is ebulliently inevitable while simultaneously substantiating the superiority of women omg stream chernobyl and smile to celebrate

    Katy simplesmente entregou tudo e mais um pouco. A coesão do álbum é apaixonante, a história por trás dele é sinônimo de superação e resiliência. É o melhor álbum pop do ano e falo isso com muita tranquilidade. As músicas do smile tem o poder de levar o ouvinte para outra dimensão, envolvendo todos em suas melodias. Obrigado katy por essa obra prima!

    I love how Katy showed the world that depression can be just a phase and you can always get back your Smile. The album gives me such a positive vibe - even though some lyrics are not that positive. The fact that she made this album with no featured artists, proves to me that Katy Perry is a name that you must put some respect on. She’s complete and I think “Smile” shows it.

    SMILE is everything I needed to hear in one album, It´s the message of hope, resilience, and healing we could all use more of in 2020. I´ve been a witness to your incredible journey since 2012, but seeing you smile this bright has been my favorite part. Katy you nailed it as always!

    Smile - A Jornada Para a Cura (?)

    A Katy Perry dividiu seu novo álbum em 4 atos bem distintos e bem definidos pra mim. Terapia, Recuperação, Felicidade, Amor (Verdadeiro). é um álbum delicioso de se ouvir. Mas pesado em letras se vc se identificar demais com esses temas. É mesmo um álbum que mostra alguém que precisou sorrir por fora ao estar sofrendo por dentro.

    A Katy Perry dividiu seu novo álbum em 4 atos bem distintos e bem definidos pra mim. Terapia, Recuperação, Felicidade, Amor (Verdadeiro).

    é um álbum delicioso de se ouvir. Mas pesado em letras se vc se identificar demais com esses temas. É mesmo um álbum que mostra alguém que precisou sorrir por fora ao estar sofrendo por dentro. Quando se vê o álbum nesses quatro atos, ele é consistente. Mas, ainda acho que faltou transições entre faixas. Só isso. Uma adição de transição entre os atos pra se tornar mais orgânico

    a mudança de temas das letras e de sonoridade. A voz e as camadas está lindas e por mais irônico que pareça, esse é finalmente o álbum "Dark" da peruca queimada que tanto pediram dela a carreira toda pra mim. Tá nas entrelinhas. Como se fosse uma conversa com violão na mão diante do espelho.

    Witness definitivamente tá tentando ser deixado pra trás eu acho (o registro pop mais injustiçado e subestimado em anos se pá pra mim). Smile me soa como um registro de um periodo de cura, de alguém com algum tipo de depressão/melancolia e seu reencontro de identidade artística. Ele soa como um experimento de sonoridade e imagem tbm. Pra ela testar o que o público mais se conecta (ponto de vista comercial) e ao mesmo tempo parece ser um registro despretensioso total apenas pq quer expor esse período vivido. Cada bloco é BEM diferente entre si. Tenho a teoria de que aquilo que vender melhor, será a aposta de seguimento pra um próximo álbum.

    Não há NADA em Smile que pareça querer brilhar. E não falo em tom pejorativo. Pelo contrário. É um álbum de uma artista que resolveu descansar do combate de números e holofotes e tá mais preocupada em cuidar da voz, testar facetas de si mesma e celebrar uma felicidade familiar. É perceptível que a Califórnia Girls cansou de se sustentar nas nuvens de algodão rosa, e decidiu por os pés no chão, sem holofotes fortes demais. Ela diz em uma das letras, que ela por hora, quer apenas aproveitar o caminho, e não mais competir correndo. Ou seja: que se ela precisar tocar sua música em botecos de madrugada, não há problemas mais agora. Ela não se importa, desde que o que estejam ouvindo, seja bom pra ela. Se brilhar, que bom. Se não, ela tá brilhando sozinho com ela e seus amores verdadeiros.

    Sorrindo e chorando ao mesmo tempo. É bem doido isso. Pq dá pra imaginar real em algumas músicas, ela com a mão na barriga sorrindo e chorando ao mesmo tempo em que canta. Isso é bonito.

    Amei.

    Minhas prediletas = todas. Real haha só a Target que não me desceu. Mas, se for pra hackear:

    Katy Perry’s SMILE is an album that tells you stories on how she struggles to find her smile back. If you listen to it closely, on each track, it truly speak to you.

    Production wise, I love that she brings back pop-funky 80-ish vibes for some songs, and then a fun bright production to the acoustic one. It’s like a mixture of her previous albums; OOTB, Teenage Dream, PRISM & Witness. The    Katy Perry’s SMILE is an album that tells you stories on how she struggles to find her smile back.

    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).
