    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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

    Bops after bops. Short but sweet album. It’s crazy how it’s still cohesive despite the fact that each song almost has a different sound to follow the suitable intended vibe for each part of the overall storytelling throughout the album. Oh, and critics stay pressed.

    Katy Perry has given us her fifth studio album titled "Smile" in which one we go through many personal issues, self love and how Katy has been getting her smile back.

    This album didn't live up to my expectations, I mean, in many songs the production reminded me of Prism, her 3rd studio album. Tracks like "smile" or "resilient" were one of those (I have to say that I love how Katy's voice sounds on "resilient"). Her voice sounds sweet and angelical in every single track, so I don't have to say anything about that. In tracks like "Harley's in Hawaii", "champagne problems" and "not the end of the world" I enjoyed the production, specially when the beat drops on the chorus. The tropical sound on "harley's in Hawaii", the disco sound on "champagne problems" and the trap sound on "not the end of the world" literally makes me love those tracks (although "not the end of the world" reminds me of witness). Songs like what "makes a woman", "daisies" and "only love" are beautiful balads that share a message about Katy's point of view in many stuffs like how she sees a Woman, how she feels about all the hate that she received before and what she would do if the world was ending. "Cry about it later", and "teary eyes" share the similar message, leaving her saddens behind and start the process of getting her smile back. "Tucked" and "Never really over" are tracks with a jolly sound that makes you dance. "Never really over" is a break up song while "tucked" is a song about how Katy feels with her lover.
    To conclude, Smile isn't a great comeback for katy, but an improvement after Witness. It deserves a Grammy nomination, I must confess.    … Expand

    In "Smile", Katy Perry gives us more of the same but with a point more than her previous album. By far "Harleys In Hawaii" is the best on the album. Her smile once again makes us blush and ask at the same time, where is she going to go? Hopefully it's to a better place. The album stays true to its style and classic pastelos pop that runs from 7 to 10.

    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

    Actually, the album is pretty basic. It's a cute album but nothing more. In my opinion it has one of Katy's best song (Harleys in Hawaii) but the other non-singles songs ain't that new. I love Katy but this year the others Pop Girls did a better work.

    She never evolves. She always does the same boring type of childish music. So awkward. The worst album of the year by far. Stream Lemonade by Beyoncé to clean your ears. Beyoncé poops on Katy.

    Her best album since Prism.
    The only problem here is that she dropped a LOT of songs before the album came out, and it seemed a little confuse... but the album itself is dancing, funny, well-made, sentimental and it's everything that we could've ask when it cames to Katy Perry.

    definitely one of Katy's best albums. The theme, sonority and quality were great. An album full of dance hits like "Teenage Dream" and with strong and touching lyrics like "PRISM".

    This album has really deep and beautiful messages (some of them I could relate to) and I appreciate it. However, the production is not what I was expecting, not saying it was bad, because it isn't, but as the general public didn't really like Witness, Smile doesn't mark enough territory to make an "AMAZING comeback only musical legends can do".

Some songs are really good, a few of the best songs in Katy Perry's career are in this album, but for the most part, it's fun... but empty. I fell like she was trying to be what people wanted her to be with this album sonically. The lyrical content is really beautiful, and all these ideas the album wants to express just would've done differently, I would prefer really atmospheric production for the lyrically really deep songs in here. But this it not a bad album, it's enjoyable, but not authentic enough, that's my opinion.… Expand

    This album is amazing. It is filled with empowering lyrics and songs ‘I know there’s got to be rain if I want the rainbows’ Katy sings in “Resilient”. This is a step forward from her underperformed album “Witness” back in 2017. My favourite song is “Not The End Of The World” (especially at the moment) this album sounds like a very mature Katy. This is definitely my favourite by Perry.This album is amazing. It is filled with empowering lyrics and songs ‘I know there’s got to be rain if I want the rainbows’ Katy sings in “Resilient”.

    you just don't feel any connection with the album is like the sound and lyrics are not too special and it's pretty forgettable, nothing to compare to Perry's prior albums that at least had two or three potential smash hits.

    The album is by far her most empowering yet.
    It represents a lot about positivity, empowerment and just getting yourself back.
    If Prism is about Maturity, Witness is Experimenting... Smile is Rejuvenation/Revival.

    I think the fact that Katy made an album based on the hard times she been through and express herself in a way than the tracklist is the definition of build a life is quite remarkable.

    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).
