    The album is disappointing. There are 4 very good songs with amazing lyrics and production. The rest are pretty mediocre. Hoping the next album will be better.

    Uma verdadeira bomba radioativa. Coloquei no spotify porque uma amiga me pediu pra dar stream e disse que a katy tava precisando, mas infelizmemte quando dei play minha familia ficou tão traumatizada e intoxicada com a radiação que tivemos que sair de casa por 5h pra contaminação sair da nossa sala de estar.

    Smile is the worst album released by the artist, it sounds completely dated and forgotten in the middle of her vast discography. What Katy Perry needs is to find herself artistically, and she fails in this project. One of the worst albums of 2020.

    There are good songs such as Harleys in Hawaii, Tucked and Smile (Song), but after what she did in Witness, I was waiting for something really new such as what she did in Harleys in Hawaii. That is the reason for my score: Please, Katy. Come with something new and fresh. Bring back that pop star that enchaincheted us

Daisies totally cuts the mood of the first two songs, since the first one was released as a loose single and is shamelessly out of the vibe of the album, then Resiliente and Não the end goes back to the vibe of the first two and Sorriso arrives and totally cuts the vibe again.

    I had so much expectations about this album, but after listening I felt kinda disappointed. It just lacks something, that I can't put my finger on it. Katy Perry it will always be one of the pop queens, but this albums is just a big no for me.

    Katy Perry is back with another album. Pregnant and in clown uniform. Everyone who knows me knows that I grew out of Katy's music when I was like 14. Her music went from being bops over bops for my 11 year old self to giving me ear cancer now. But I keep giving her music a chance. I should probably accept that I'm never gonna like it again.

But I keep giving her music a chance. I should probably accept that I'm never gonna like it again.

    We have 5 previously released songs on here. We have the generic "Never Really Over" that also could’ve been sung by Zara Larsson, the typical 2010 Katy kidz bop material with "Smile", "Daisies", a song that is supposed to be deep but the fact that it sounded dated on arrival takes away all the attention from its lyrics, "Harleys in Hawaii", which seems to be a fan favorite but to me it sounds like an Ariana Grande reject and the terribly boring "What Makes a Woman", which at least has decent lyrics.

    What else is left to unpack here? A lot of bland stuff ("Champagne Problems", "Resilient"), more dated stuff ("Tears Eyes"), I don’t know what "Tucked" was supposed to be and "Only Love" which sounds like something you've heard a million times before but at least it has good lyrics. Oh and with "Not the End of the World" we have another song that sounds like Ariana didn’t want it on "thank u, next". But that one is actually one of the better songs on the album. "Cry About It Later" has an interesting and different production in the verses but then its chorus comes on and ruins the whole thing. So all in all this is another 1/10 project from Katy for me. The album is pretty bland as it sounds either generic, boring or dated. Congrats on your baby Katy but this album was not it. If I had to pick favorites I would point out "Not the End of the World". That one justifies the 1 point in my opinion. Yeah.    … Expand

    Katy tries to look fresh after her latest failure called witness but it just seems to be a desperate attempt as only a couple of songs are worth listening to. It's a shame to hear such mediocre work, poorly produced and written by someone like Katy Perry. From Katy Perry we expected two things and one did not like her demanding audience at all. Bad for Katy and her team.

    Katy is a wonderful woman, but she never reinvents herself. She has been doing the same pop since the beginning of her career. In addition to children's themes. It looks like an album for children, in fact, maybe not even children like something more professional. An amateur album for a great woman.
