    It's not bad (like she did before revival) it's just basic and I can't stop think about the fact that most of the songs she can't perform live.

    This album, like one of the tracks says, is fun! While being fun and having interesting offbeat production, the lyrical content is strong, and makes you feel empowered and rare (pun intended)!

    It’s a good album, but it’s not what Selena is most capable of, she’s in her way to find herself in music and Rare is the way, some songs are really boring, like ‘Ring’, Fun’ and ‘Let Me Get Me’, while others are masterpieces, like ‘Lose You To Love Me’, ‘Crowded Room’ and ‘Rare’.

    I feel like this album will be the greatest pop album of the entire year. Every song is great & magnificent and carries an emotional backstory. Haters are pressed because their favorite artists can only make generic pop music written by dozens of old white men so that it appeals to the general public and become a forgettable “hit” with moderate success.

    Beyond worth the wait. Selena Gomez always pushes pop into new and exciting places and Rare is weird, confident and beautiful. Every song is expertly crafted and the whole album flows beautifully. Early faves include 'Rare', 'Vulnerable', 'Let Me Get Me', 'Cut You Off' and 'A Sweeter Place' but there isn't a weak moment. We have no choice but to stan.

I can only listen to 3 songs in this album, Lose You to Love Me (her best one, looks misplaced compared to her other generic mediocre songs), People You Know and Let Me Get Me. The arrangement of the songs are messy, tells noThis album is not original and doesn't tell a personal story. Rare is originally a demo from Charli XCX and Rings is a Normani reject. The sounds put me off to sleep. I can only listen to 3 songs in this album, Lose You to Love Me (her best one, looks misplaced compared to her other generic mediocre songs), People You Know and Let Me Get Me. The arrangement of the songs are messy, tells no story, no character growth. i really enjoyed Revival and her non-album singles (Back to You, Wolves, Bad LIar) so this album really feels like an unneeded filler. Very disappointing. Expand

    Selena Gomez es una de las artistas que siempre termina sorprendiendo con su música, ha sabido mantenerse y sacar cosas interesantes en cada álbum. RARE fue algo extraño de escuchar en un comienzo porque no se parece a nada previo y eso es lo mejor!.
    Excelente.

    Great album enjoyable from the beggining to the fin, Ring song is latin infused it's a great choise if you ask me, she allowed to make latin music and not everyone is allowed to do so, Fun is the other track along with Ring some people don't like but it's not bad it's a chill song you can enjoy yo set on mood, everything else is or dance infused or Urban/rnb inspired songs so would like it better

    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.
