    Cry it about it later is the song that could save this album. Katty Perry as a legend has influenced the pop music with colorful videos, an amazing production and hopelly song lyrics. Unfortunately she got down into a cliché and like she chose disposable songs from her previous albums to put in here.

    O álbum entrega a mesma fórmula batida de sempre e com uma sonoridade rasa. As músicas não conversam entre si e parece uma coleção de descartes. O fato de muitas músicas do álbum terem sido lançadas há muito tempo atrapalhou bastante

    Honrando seu apelido mais conhecido, de ''Doceira'', Katy Perry provou mais uma vez ser mestre no lançamento de bolas de açúcar para consumo momentâneo e limitado. A trajetória da cantora sempre se resumiu na produção de canções efêmeras, com intuitos breves. Não possuindo uma esfera de qualidade interna, Perry apenas consegue se resumir aos seus antigos sucessos de carreira, tais como ''Firework'' e ''Dark Horse'', e mais uma vez a cantora se mostra ínfima e nada interessante ao continuar com suas mesmas produções repetitivas e a velha antiga fórmula de pop de sala de espera de consultório odontológico. De um certo modo, Katy tenta implementar uma nova ideia crítica e progressiva em suas letras, tal como a faixa final ''What Makes A Woman'', que embora seja escrita majoritariamente por homens, revela uma camada mais pessoal da cantora. De fato, o clima atual não contribui para maior absorção do trabalho de Katy, tendo em vista que sua rival (ou pelo menos antiga rival), Taylor Swift, segue entregando materias de sua mais profunda complexidade e capacitação lírica. Desse modo, Katy provou mais uma vez ser a artista menos interessante entre suas colegas de geração, em outras palavras, o sorriso amarelou.    … Expand

    Ella puede hacer un mejor trabajo, se entiende que es el tipo de música que ama, pero lejos está de ser la estrella pop que dominó el 2013 dónde todos menospreciaron a otras artistas que hoy en día valen oro, fea música.

    Sin comentarios en lo personal no me parece nada nuevo, todas las canciones son aburridas y los vídeos de los singles que ha sacado se me hacen básicos, aburridos y eso aún hace que la canción sea más aburrida. Es un álbum que no escuchare, y mucho menos compraría por qué sería gastar mi dinero en algo que no vale la pena.

    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

    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.
