    Bastante flojo y aburrido, nada destacable, debería descansar un tiempo de la música e intentar reinventarse después

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Outro álbum generico, tentando fazer críticas com músicas e produção genérica, fraca, e estúpida. Merece as notas baixas como sempre, essa não vai aprender a fazer um álbum coeso nunca! Katycats vocês que lutem sozinhos seus podres! Expand

    you just don't feel any connection with the album is like the sound and lyrics are not too special and it's pretty forgettable, nothing to compare to Perry's prior albums that at least had two or three potential smash hits.

    The main problem with the album is how forgettable it is. There are no catchy choruses and the production is very mild. This album feels like almost an afterthought. With Witness, while it might have been a mixed bag of songs, at least you remembered the ones that stood out and it has decent production. With Smile, every song feels very tired and outdated.

    This is a better attempt than Witness, that's for sure. But the whole record sounds like rejects from her previous work.

    After a log break I expected something better than this but at least it’s better than Witness.

    All songs sound the same, there's no innovation to her music in the past 5 years. I think it's time for her to explore new genres.

    It’s sad to see modern pop icon and one of the best-selling artists of 2010’s to come up with album like Smile. That’s it, that’s the review.

    It's not a bad album, but it's not the best. Katy is the best but her fans suck. buy chromatica on itunes. #tragic

    Fraco, esquecível e imemorável. Katy consegue ser melhor, mas infelizmente Smile é um álbum que one poeira em relação a outros lançamentos.

    Poor album, poor artist. Katy is a limited thing. This is sad. She just can't do something with quality.

    You have to be honest, for an artist of the stature of Katy Perry this is not a good album. It's not soo bad and it's okay that i wanted to make a personal album, however that doesn't mean that this album is forgetful anf boring.

    Mais do mesmo, nada de inovador. Gosto da Katy Perry como pessoa, mas seus trabalhos soam muito enjoativos.

    Entediante! 5 álbuns lançando as mesmas músicas pedantes com cara de 2008. Evolução artística? Não tem.
    Composição? É vergonhosa e as letras são rasas, estou lendo um livro de auto ajuda e não sei?
    Vocais? Zero evolução, pelo contrário, ela conseguiu piorar nesse album. Produção? Extremamente básica, tenta emular o estilo Dance/Disco e falha pois álbuns anteriores como Future Nostalgia,

    Produção? Extremamente básica, tenta emular o estilo Dance/Disco e falha pois álbuns anteriores como Future Nostalgia, Whats Your Pleasure e Chromatica fazem isso magistralmente.
    Coesão? Isso nem existe nesse álbum, são diversas músicas vazias, jogadas pra cumprir tabela, esse álbum soa mais como uma playlist ruim do spotify do que um álbum.

    Unfortunately Smile lacks cohesion on a sound level, on that point of view it is his worst album

    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).
