    “Smile “ this album is the greatest concept of her all works. “Never really over “ is the best opening of this album because it tell us that Katy’s career doesn’t game over. “Cry about it later” tell us something that we should abandon what makes us cry and feels disappointed ,and we just need to have fun.

    “Only love “tell us that the process of her mind after she becomes a mother .
    “Smile “ is the best album in this summer !!!!!

    Smile is an album all about overcoming clinical depression which Katy suffered with for 2 years.

All of katy’s albums are amazing and different in they’re own ways and smile doesn’t shy away from katy’s insane talent for creating songs that make you dance and maybe even cry at the same time. I haven’t been able to rank any of katy’s 4 albums but Smile is definitely her best one yet ! Critics have been mocking her mental health and this album which i think is disgusting. Katy has given the world such a beautiful piece of work to always remind us and herself that we CAN get through the tough times but somehow that message got lost for the critics and they are focusing on they’re own opinions on Katy & somehow even bringing up other female artists as if it is okay to pit women against women, it’s not ! I am so proud of Katy for releasing this most personal yet most fun piece of work 12 years into her record breaking career. Even during these dark times the world is facing katy is offering us all a slice of positivity, hope and love, to be honest that’s all we can ask for in music right now and katy perry did it. giving birth & releasing an album in the same week pretty much sums up how amazing, passionate and hard working katy is. i recommend this album to everyone, no matter your taste there is something for everyone. this is a beautiful piece of work that will be remembered forever for its empowering message & perfect sound. honestly all I can say is thank you katy perry.

    One of her best albums to dates. The lyrics, the production, the messages...everythinggg!! There isn't any song that you would skip. We truly needed an album like this one during this time in the world especially the song Only Love. Some of us should really go listen to that song and practice it in real life. A MASTERPIECE❤

    I think this is the best album of this year. It contains super rhythms and mind-thinking topics about mental health which are important to be spoken about. I consider as my most favorite piece on the album the song called "Not the End Of the World". It has strong melody and amazing lyrics. This album does not have skip songs. Each song is unique and it has its own powerful message. It'sI think this is the best album of this year.

    This album is AMAZING! experimental melodies, a pleasant return to elettropop, with an 80’s mix, all accompained by introspective lyrics. My favourites are Cry About It Later and Tucked, but also Not The End of the World and Teary Eyes don’t joke! If you’re searching for a Dance album, Smile is the one for you!

    Katy Perry delivers a guide through her journey on getting back her smile. With relatable pop songs that tell us her story, Katy shows us that even in our darkest days, there still is hope to grind on. From the dance bop Teary Eyes all the way to the intimist power ballad What Makes A Woman, Katy surely has something that speaks to you on this journey.

    Each Katy Perry album is always highly anticipated and arouses the interest of the entire audience.
    In partial analysis, it is always easy to find reasons to accuse your albums of being purely commercial, but the truth is that this album, like its predecessors, represents an important fact for pop culture and is contextualized with our reality, treating themes with legitimate ones.

    Katy Perry brings a new point of view, focused on her personal life and feelings, without leaving aside the political theme. Some approaches are repetitive, redoing what she has already done in "Chained to the Rhythm". But his vocal interpretation doesn't sound so emotional. I highlight the songs "Never Really Over" and "Only Love" as favorites.

    There is a whole story behind what we hear, which is easier to understand once we realize Katheryn has always tried to tell us she is no longer the singer we met in 2008: every single day of her life there is something new to discover.

    For those who say Katy Perry keeps doing repetitive music, I invite you to listen to her entire discography carefully. You will get surprised if you paid attention and put the hate aside.

    Amazing body of work, there is no bad song in this album. The fact that the album is named "Smile" and she's dressed as a sad clown it's really interesting. The album offers a very diverse kind of production, but either way it's cohesive. The best album by Katy Perry after Witness.

    Katy Perry "Smile" is the 5th album studio and the most personal since PRISM.
    It's absurd see how she can explore the pain, the sadness, the joy, the superation of a heart broken (from a relationship tha'ts not ended well or a being teached to be humble again) and put a smile (as the title of the album suggest) on our face.
    We can see you growing Katy. Your fans has been your witnesses.

Smile, Champagne Problems and Tucked signify the joy of finally finding that one person who's going to hold your hand through the hard times.

    This is a really fun album! Literally not skips!
    Her best album (and it’s hard for me to tell that cuz I love all her albums). Wish critics focused more on the album and not in her bad thoughts about her.

    Anyway stream/buy/dance it

    It is definitely one of the best albums of the year, although it has some skips. Katy came back to her roots and sits really well.

    This album shows her personal growth. It shows how she got back that smile, which she lost during the Witness era. This album really makes you SMILE!

    This album is just perfect, it deserves at least one grammy because it’s just so necessary, truthful and happy. I just hope that “Not The End Of The World” is the next single!

    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).
