    Katy Perry’s new album Smile is her latest effort to come back in the pop scene. I must say this is her most cohesive album that she had released so far in her entire career. With 80’s disco and melodically nostalgic elements in “Cry About It Later”, “Champagne Problems” and “Tucked”, a club euphoric throwback sound of “Teary Eyes”, powerhouse pure pop perfection with “Never Really Over”Katy Perry’s new album Smile is her latest effort to come back in the pop scene. I must say this is her most cohesive album that she had released so far in her entire career. With 80’s disco and melodically nostalgic elements in “Cry About It Later”, “Champagne Problems” and “Tucked”, a club euphoric throwback sound of “Teary Eyes”, powerhouse pure pop perfection with “Never Really Over” and trap-hiphop infused track that is “Not The End Of The World”, Katy undeniably delivered different elements in music genres that most of the critics called out her for not experimenting and staying on her comfort zone. Production wise, it’s a solid record, given the fact that the instrumentations, synths and sonics are not repetitive. Lyrically, Katy has consistently delivered coherent topics such as hope, resilience, love and happiness which are the basic foundations for the entire album. If you have observed, there are 4 parts that are sub-divided each having 3 songs in it that tell a story in the album, which she decently offered thus making the album well coordinated. In conclusion, I think Katy Perry released one of the most solid pop record in a while. Something that you would give another shot after the initial listen. IT’S GREAT AND NOT MEDIOCRE. - smile_perrys Expand

    Smile Is the best musical art work from Katy Perry, She's coming back with an old Katy's style with sounds and vibes of Prism and Teenage Dream but we can hear a new Katy Style that can make you dance with songs like Never Really Over or Cry About it Later, Her vocals are incredible on this Album, Katy worked so hard for 2 years in this Album and we can see it on the iconic visuals.

    I actually really liked Smile. It feels like she's finally found her sound which is a mixture of soft rock, pop, and of course dance. While this feels like another Teenage Dream, Katy succeeds in making it sound new and modern. We can hear the big productions of Witness, the empowering tones of Roar and Firework, and as mentioned before the soft rock of One of the Boys. Overall, SmileI actually really liked Smile.

It brings electropop and Europop sounds with sweet sounds and classic Katy Perry melodies. Thanks to "Smile" for making us smile in the middle of a pandemic and pregnancy.

Katy es de esas artistas que se reinventan de pies a cabeza en cada uno de sus álbumes y nos da excelentes piezas de arte. Aunque su salida de los charts fue en verdad algo doloroso para ella, le hizo exigirse mucho más de lo que solía hacerlo y sacar a flote todo su potencial como una verdadera artista. Este álbum es una obra de arte en todos los sentidos, la letra, la producción, el esfuerzo, la dedicación, todo. Es increíble que absolutamente todas las canciones son tan perfectas y que ninguna parezca algún relleno. Independientemente de todo el odio que sigue recibiendo y que muchos fans no la apoyan me atrevo a decir que es el mejor álbum de su carrera y del 2020. Excelente trabajo, Katheryn. No sólo por mantenerse fiel a si misma como siempre lo ha hecho, sino por la intención de este álbum, el traernos una sonrisa al rostro, alegría, esperanza y amor. Es de aplaudirse que una mujer embarazada y en plena pandemia, que ha sufrido tanto y que sin contar con el apoyo de muchos, nos da lo mejor que ha podido hacer, su álbum "Smile". Expand

You literally having a SMILE on your face after hearing those 12 tracks without any skip in any song. The struggle of Katy in the past is what makes this album a perfection one. The way she executed the lines, vocals and every emotions that she puts in every single is beyond expectation . Katy Perry once said that "No Hate, Just Love" and that WHAT MAKES A WOMAN to her. It's like driving a car in the middle of the night with light atmosphere that gives meaningful in your journey, or riding a HARLEYS IN A HAWAII with those winds that comes from a breeze, fascinating. You can say that maybe this album is ONLY LOVE and not throwing any negative content, just pure love. You know the feeling of breaking down and not feeling okay with yourself but after you heard this album you can surely tell to yourself that maybe it is NOT THE END OF THE WORLD and we can CRY ABOUT IT LATER cause we are stronger than we thought. You can see your reflection with those TEARY EYES, the hardships, falling short and not measuring up, you can say that it is a really tough thing but who cares? ans who knows? Do not TUCKED your pass underneath your soul but let your past be part of who you are because trust me, it will make sense at the end. The background story of your CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS are just a headache in the past , the smell of every DAISIES are just like a fragrance to your present, and the building blocks that you will turn in the future soon will makes you RESILIENT. Your mistakes, your past, heartaches, disappointments, rejection and negativity, Listen to this Album called Smile by Katy Perry and tell them that this isn't over, NEVER REALLY OVER. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Obra de arte. Para mi era imposible que Katy perry superará Teenage Dream, y este álbum me ha hecho darme cuenta que es el mejor álbum de Katy Perry hasta ahora. Ritmos increíbles y pegadizos, letras hermosas, Katy siempre ha tenido el talento de transmitir emociones y hacerte querer bailar y al mismo tiempo tener una letra increíble. Las críticas de este álbum no tienen lógica, no les hagan caso a las negativas, solo son de criticos que desearon ser artistas y no pudieron y tienen que conformarse con pensar que saben de música y escribir sobre eso, les gusta lo que esta de “moda” entonces ellos no son importantes como para tomarlos en cuenta. TD también tuvo criticas malas y fue el álbum que hizo que Katy Perry igualará un record de Michael Jackson, Prism fue #1 y también tuvo malas críticas al igual que Witness que fue #1. Entonces los criticos no valen la pena, ellos no importan. ESTE ÁLBUM ES HERMOSO, NO TIENE UNA CANCIÓN QUE SALTES, TODO ES INCREÍBLE. El mensaje de Katy en Only Love es hermoso, ritmos de cry about it later, champagne problems son incomparables. Sin duda Katy Perry demuestra una vez más que es LA REINA DEL POP. Expand

    Opening the album with a therapeutic boop, Katy Perry brings us one of the best albums released in 2020 and overall. Despite not having released the best tracks as singles with music video, Katy uses that choice as the main concept of the album, where it leads us to recover our smile.

    Tracks like Cry About It Later and Teary Eyes they completely take us back to the eras of the 2000s.

    Tracks like Cry About It Later and Teary Eyes they completely take us back to the eras of the 2000s. Champagne Problems and Tucked transport us back to their hit era Teenage Dream with Witness influences.

    And to close the album, he leaves us a moment of family reflection with Only Love, and a perfect ending with What Makes a Woman, with folk influences, sounding like an end to this album, but a start for KP6.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile com certeza, ao contrário do que a crítica (que se diz especializada mas na verdade parece ter um certa implicância com a cantora) é um album incrível, onde todas as músicas apresentam grande potencial para serem singles. Nesse album Katy se entrega e mostra toda a sua fragilidade, narrando a busca pela recuperação de seu sorriso que havia sido perdido após a era Witness. Never Really Over abre o album perfeitamente sendo uma das melhores músicas já lançadas pela Katy, em seguida vem Cry About It Later que é um batidão com uma guitarra que acaba dando um charme no bridge e logo após temos Teary Eyes completando a trindade de bop's do album... essa é simplesmente linda e contagiante. Seguimos com Daises e Resilient com vocais poderosos e mensagens tão poderosas quanto. Not The End Of The é um hit pronto que parece ser uma filha de Dark Horse com Black Widow. Smile é algo bem próximo da clássica Katy que conhecemos. Champagne Problems e Tucked têm uma pegada mais retrô que combina muito com a cantora... são músicas extremamente radiofônicas e são muito boas em seu contexto todo. Harleys In Hawaii é uma música suave com a vibe bem gostosa, enquanto Only Love tem uma letra linda e arrepiante e What Makes a Woman fecha o album perfeitamente com a Katy finalmente se reconhecendo, superando e encontrando o que a faz feliz. É um album muito bem produzido e com hits dentro, mas que além disso passa uma mensagem linda de superação, perseverança e resiliência. Talvez seja o melhor album da cantora até o momento ou talvez só perca para o lendário Teenage Dream. Talvez daqui alguns anos os críticos reconheçam isso, como sempre acontece com os trabalhos anteriores de Perry, mas o fato é que isso não altera em nada a qualidade do album e nem quebra a mensagem passada.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Smile lets us see an even more raw facet of Katy Perry. This record utilises the art of self-reflection and acceptance of the not-so-perfect world, yet still finding a fraction of hope to cling on to when on the playing field, combined with frothy pop production and streamlined lyricism; you get a token of faith and optimism to serve as a reminder in trying times.

    Smile is, musically, the same thing that Katy has been offering for some years, there's no evolution in that sense. However, her lyrics feel more intimate, personal, is like she wants to shout out what she really feels. I enjoyed this album ❤️

    Esse com certeza é um dos melhores álbuns de toda a carreira da Katy , ela conseguiu entregar um álbum atual nostálgico e ao mesmo tempo com músicas que vão de baladinhas a electro pop.
    E o conceito de fazer as pessoas sorrirem realmente deu muito certo

    Katy Perry’s best album ever. Not a single track is boring, and a “skip” song. All the songs are good.

    Honestly I loved this album, I'm not a Katy stan but was curious about her new work and been amazed from start to end. After I read the backstory and her personal struggles during the production I empathized with her and loved it even more

    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).
