It’s fun, consistent and in line with her album “Prism,” released in 2013.

It was too predictable and over-produced.īut “Smile” is a glimpse back into what made Perry a success. Perry’s impact on the chart declined with her previous album release, “Witness.” The album didn’t seem to live up to what we had come to expect. Only one other artist in history had done that: Michael Jackson. Her album “Teenage Dream” was so big that it placed five singles at No. Perry burst onto the scene with some massive power.

She’s not always been high on most critics’ lists, but I’ve found her songs to be fun, clever and tongue-in-cheeky.īefore I go further, I feel it’s important to remind you of some of her most memorable charting singles:e “I Kissed A Girl,” “Waking Up In Vegas,” “Hot N’ Cold,” “Teenage Dream,” “California Gurls,” “E.T.” “Dark Horse” and “Firework.” On, and what about “Last Friday Night (TGIF),” “Part Of Me,” “The One That Got Away,” “Wide Awake” “Birthday,” “Chained To The Rhythm,” “Unconditionally” and “Roar”? That’s awesome. Perry is often able to deliver when it comes to pop confectionary tunes we love to get stuck in our heads. I know I’m excited for some fun new music. Oh! And Perry just dropped her sixth studio album, “Smile,” at a time when we need to smile most. Yes, the couple’s daughter is named Daisy Bloom. The pop princess and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, welcomed a baby girl, Daisy. Is it OK to smile now? If you’re Katy Perry, you might be doing a lot of smiling.
