Selena has put more work into marketing this album as a “vulnerable” expression of herself and selling a fake image than she has put into improving herself as a person and musician. This album comes chock-full of cookie cutter instrumentals and monotone whisper talking. What she lacks in personality, she equally lacks in delivering a genuine album experience. Do not waste your time with this album, or this artist for that matter. Expand

    I was so hopeful for Selena's new album, but I think that the result kind of disappointed me. I could not say of course that Rare is a bad album or that it is one of Gomez's mediocre or bad ones, but it potentially could be a great album. I really loved "Lose You to Love Me" and "Dance Again", giving credit to Julia Michaels as a songwriter and FINNEAS as a producer on the first one.I was so hopeful for Selena's new album, but I think that the result kind of disappointed me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album was very anticipated and it fulfilled the expectations, maybe even exceeded them! Even at a first listen, the album doesn’t have a single bad track: musically, they’re all catchy, interesting and it’s clear that Selena experimented many cool tunes. Also, there are many different vibes and genres represented and overall it really feels like she’s telling a story, a beautiful, sad in some parts, journey. Something to really pay attention to are the lyrics. This album is really personal and invites to listen to every song by understanding exactly what emotions are poured into them. Even the most upbeat tracks hide raw emotions that everybody has experienced once in their life. In particular, I advice to go deep into the lyrics of Let Me Get Me, Vulnerable, A Sweeter Place (one of the two collaborations). Also, Ring is a genial track: it reminds of the vibe of Selena‘a own song from her previous album, Revival, the track called Same Old Love, but the lyrics definitely qualify this song as some kind of Selena’s own Blank Space. Love it. Title track is also great: catchy, fun, playful, the essence of pop and at the same time the sign of its evolution. Overall, you could find the influence of some of the songs she released during these years, available in the Target version of Rare, such as It Ain’t Me and Bad Liar (I recall It Ain’t Me vibes in Vulnerable - a mix of Pop and EDM). So, a great album! Congratulations Selena! Expand

    This album is all about self-growth and self-love. We’ve all had things we’ve had to overcome. The pain that comes with that journey is a universal thing but when we can rise from the ashes and fly again that is a beautiful thing. I love the throwback to several genres this album surprises you with. I will be listening to it all year long and can’t wait to hear more from Miss Gomez!

    Selena mostrou para o que veio em seu novo álbum, sem se vitimizar, a cantora cobre de elogios a si mesma o que mostra um amadurecimento analisando o álbum anterior da cantora, aonde ela chorava por seu relacionamento conturbado. A artista cresceu e está moldando sua carreira através deste álbum.

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
