    Album podre, datado, não vai inovar nunca c4d3l4? Smile música da playlist da Renner, um descarte do Prism, Daisies descarte do Witness a menos pior é Cry about it later mas mesmo assim totalmente fora de coesão. LIXO

    Honestly not her best work.Only 2 likeable songs , the rest sound like fillers and it just doesn’t seem like she put that much effort into it.Plus let’s not talk about the lackluster cover.

    Very disappointing. Knowing Katy for so long i really miss her old songs, maybe its time to step back and recover her inspiration as composer. Not all people can deliver smash hits one after another. Shout out to kc that are doing a disservice to her as fas :)

    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

O álbum é gostosinho sim de escutar, mais acho que mesmo com que a Katy Perry passou na era anterior e no começo dessa, é tudo culpa de seus fãns, obcecados por outros artistas, e deixando a desejar com a mesma, Katy não merece seus fãns sei que é para falar de álbum mais vale citar a sua fanbase tóxica, vendo a critica massacrar o álbum da katy e indo descontar a raiva em outros trabalhos superiores a esse. A temática Circo do álbum mostra claramente que ela serve de palhaça para seus fãns que só a amam quando faz oque eles desejam. Não inveje arte dos outros, cada um tem sua maneira de fazer arte e cada um tem seus admiradores. Estou dizendo isso porque muitos fãs da Katy Estão jogando hate para Gaga e mostrando o quão ridículo são indo criticar o álbum dela no metacritic para cair a nota, desde o início da era Chromatica vocês divulgaram os link de vazamentos tentando prejudicar a Gaga quando logo em breve Katy tem todo o seu álbum vazado na internet dias antes do seu lançamento, e mesmo assim muitos monsters mostraram apoio a ela, e outros não devido a esse fato. Vocês tentam mostrar que são foda quando na verdade são apenas ridículos, atacando outros artista quando na verdade suas fav só cai cada vez mais. Expand

    One of the worst Katy's album. She hasn't grown up at all. Typical rhythms and lines. Sounds like demo-version of TD. Katy's main problem is that she's afraid of going away from her typical Bubble gum outfit. She tryes to experiment but want to have TD's success. She wants to sit on both chairs but it's impossible and that's her main rwason of failure.

    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

    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).
