    She is back! And the outstanding album was worth the wait! It has many happy tracks about Katy getting her smile back, then also tracks about what she went through during the witness era. And she also put a reference to one of her older albums in one of the songs!

    Com certeza um dos melhores álbuns da carreira da Katy, se não o melhor. Ela conseguiu transmitir tudo que ela queria dizer utilizando uma sonoridade muito bem desenvolvida. Algumas músicas te fazem dançar e pular por todo lugar, outras trazem uma vibe trap arrepiante e outras são pra ouvir calminho no seu lugar. Simplesmente o Smile traz uma experiência completa.

    Her best album yet, the production and melodies are 10/10 and the lyrics tell the story of how she overcame the darkest period of her life coming through the other side but still being super upbeat and happy.

    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.
