    Katy Perry sem dúvidas construiu o álbum mais coeso de toda carreira. Diferente dos álbuns anteriores, a proposta de Smile é clara e presente em todas as faixas - encontrar ou recuperar seu sorriso.
    O álbum é dançante, intenso e sobre tudo íntimo. Katy narra os elementos importantes para sua recuperação pós depressão e soa para nós ouvintes como uma vitória ou renascimento. O ouvinte pode facilmente se identificar com as letras, mas o que eleva o álbum ao status citado nas primeiras linhas é a reflexão que ele sugere. Quando nós não estamos no controle? O que nós resgatará da escuridão? Nossa família? amores? Sonhos? Nós mesmos? Ou será que é o fim?. Esses questionamentos dão espaço ao que Katy Perry quer realmente passar a suas testemunhas: seja Dançando com suas lágrimas ou esquecendo os problemas com champanhe saiba que não é o fim. Entenda que está tudo bem não está bem o tempo todo ou precisar da ajuda de remédios e continue buscando motivos para sorrir todos os dias.

    Katy Perry finally back her smile and her essence, something that few artists manage to do. Although some sounds remind us of Teenage Dream, which is her best album in my opinion, it does not mean that she is giving us the same old thing.

She preserves her pop nuances and gives us a mature album that brings us musical gems such as Never Really Over, Cry About It Later, Daisies, Not The End Of The World, Champagne Problems, etc. She has given the best of herself in this new era and even if she does not receive all the recognition she deserves, she has already rewarded herself, forming a beautiful family with the arrival of her newborn and also releasing music with which she feels comfortable that is not just any music since it is music therapy that helps us recover from many sad moments and finally smile.

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

Very triumphant sound with big bass lines, it will make you travel bel back to 80s inspired disco, 90s Eurodance, 00s trap! Album highlight for me is Only Love, a sentimental track which talks talks about if only you ha 12 day left to live. It is so personal yet so rekatable at a listener level.

    It's Katy's best body of work to date! It showcases amazing vocals, astonishing production and deep lyrics.

    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).
