    Her most fully realized album yet and a highlight in a career dotted with really good pop records.

    Becoming an adult means selecting the aspects of childhood you would like to hold on to, and maintaining them on your own terms. The autobiographical style of Rare and I Said I Love You First proves that Gomez has accomplished this task, making music in a way that works for her.

    Kept to a trim 35 minutes, there’s actually surfeit of highlights on display – each track lands, while owning an incredible sense of breadth.

    The album peaks in the middle with a trio of bangers starting with “Sunset Blvd,” a romantic fantasy of coupling in the middle of the street until the cops arrive to pry them apart.
