    Unfortunately, very poor pop album. Not much substance or creativity involved. Disappointed.

    Probablemente uno de los mejores álbumes de su carrera, ya que en las canciones trata de transmitir un mensaje frente a los problemas de la sociedad actual como el feminismo, etc.

    Katy Perry shows on her fifth studio album "Smile" songs with happy beats with important messages and her Katy Perry way of being. This album is wonderful!

    De longe um dos melhores álbuns da carreira, se não o melhor.

It might have become clear that she might not be a record breaker anymore, however, I think it is much more important to make music that reflects the artist’s feelings and emotions. “Smile” has definitely made me smile.

It is a very Katy album — catchy pop songs, reminding me of her older records. Some of the songs give me melancholy vibes while also making me feel happy and hopeful. Initially, I was not sure if I was enjoying the title of the record, as well as the cover. Now, as the album is already out, I think that both fit the content excellently.… Expand

    O álbum “Smile” traz uma sensação diferente, desde a primeira vez que se escuta é como se fosse automaticamente transportando a um lugar seguro que lhe traz felicidade, com bastante influências de Deep-House e grande homenagem às músicas dançantes, tem letras importantes, e considero ele um fechamento de capítulo na vida da artista, algumas letras inclusive trazem referências ao sucessoO álbum “Smile” traz uma sensação diferente, desde a primeira vez que se escuta é como se fosse automaticamente transportando a um lugar seguro que lhe traz felicidade, com bastante influências de Deep-House e grande homenagem às músicas dançantes, tem letras importantes, e considero ele um fechamento de capítulo na vida da artista, algumas letras inclusive trazem referências ao sucesso “Teenage Dream” e feito totalmente de forma despretensiosa para simplesmente fazer com que a pessoa que esta escutando sorria, é disso que estamos precisando agora. Não foi bem aceito pela crítica especializada (grande surpresa) por ser considerado despretensioso demais e “soar como algo já feito”, a questão que fica é: todo álbum Pop precisa ser realmente revolucionário? O que aconteceu com a ideia de simplesmente fazer música boa e não esperar nada mais do que isso?
    Não é preciso ser aclamado para ser grande e o que a Katy propõe aqui é esse olhar sobre sua carreira, fizeram ela fazer papel de palhaça em acreditar que ela precisava mudar para ser considerada artista de verdade e tudo o que ela conseguiu foi entrar em desarmonia consigo mesma.
    Chega ser um pecado alguém falar que esse disco é ruim, até porque muito artista entregou trabalho esse ano com a pegada retrô de pop chiclete, e de alguma forma somente a Katy é repetitiva e está promovendo algo em desacordo com a situação atual do mundo? Nós precisamos de músicas despretensiosas que simplesmente trazem alegria, estamos num momento complicado devido à pandemia e a Katy Perry conseguiu entregar um álbum coeso do incio ao fim, com letras poderosas que demonstram o quanto ela amadureceu como artista e o quanto está disposta a continuar seguindo fazendo música pra quem se interessa por seu trabalho e não julga seu trabalho pelo seu perfil, mas sim pelo seu talento, ela deixa claro que não liga para as críticas porque sabe que fazendo o que ama ela vai estar de acordo consigo mesma, e se flopar? Bem, talvez ela chore depois, mas essa noite ela vai mesmo é se divertir!    … Expand

    It is a very complete album with modern and experienced sounds along with Katy's vocals that have improved considerably, playing with the choruses and verses, which makes it even more interesting and that currently sounds quite good. Positioning itself as one of the best albums of the year

    Well how would I describe Katy Perry in a word or two? 'Pop perfection'!
    She said in her interviews that the new album would sonically sound similar to her past ones and there are times when it does. It reminds us of Old Katy but it also has hints of uniqueness and freshness like never before! The songs can all be singles. They are bops and disco hits that are well written and produced!

It reminds us of Old Katy but it also has hints of uniqueness and freshness like never before! The songs can all be singles. They are bops and disco hits that are well written and produced! Katy's vocals are amazing as always! They resonate hope, happiness, strength, optimism, light and that is all that the world needs rn! She was pregnant and she was still serving us with visuals and vocals...That sir is a real queen right there! Idc about reviews from critics! It's very easy to criticize someone's work and be mean and spread negativity and get paid for it! Unlike you guys, Katy doesn't just warm the seats....She's a real performer and she delivered! Critics are calling the new album a "mortal sin" and that "people don't go to Katy for deep" and that's she's "playing it safe"... Well y'all trashed her bad when she actually reinvented herself with Witness and now that when she's sticking with what she does best, it's still not good enough? Smh The songs turned out the way they are cause they were intended that way. The artist has a different vision while writing songs, the situation they are in rn or have been through clearly reflect in the lyrics they write and not everyone is supposed to get that. Everyone gives a new turn, a new meaning to the lyrics which is okay but you can't disregard or talk trash about it not knowing what it actually stands for! The critics have always been mean towards Katy and that just shows how the music industry works! They choose a bunch of talentless mean idiots to spread hatred about every good thing or effort made by any artist. The only critique these crictics need to give criticism to is their lack of judgement and understanding cause that's trash af! Enough about these idiots!! I just wanna say, "Smile" is a **** bop and it deserves to be appreciated and streamed and nominated for awards and stuff. Please Stream the album cause Katy has worked really hard! I'm so proud of her and so proud to be a KatyCat....I hope and pray that she gets all the happiness and success in the world cause she's worthy of it!!
    Also I can't choose one song and call it my favourite....I just love em all lol!    … Expand

    This album is her best work yet. She knows exactly what to do to stay on trend with the latest music. Katy Perry knows exactly what she’s doing and every song is just as good as the last. there is one more song that she cowrote with Ryan Tedder but it is only target only addition but it can be found on YouTube. Stream, buy, and download SMILE!

    Esse álbum não tem uma música ruim, diferentemente do antecessor Witness, acredito que a Katy conseguiu entregar com maestria tudo o que ela prometeu.

    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).
