    Absolutely in love with her and everything she does. Her music, her movies, her fashion, her philanthropy, her philosophy...etc. "Rare" music album is indeed rare.
    She has gone through too much. She deserves all the happiness in the world.

    Rare is subtle, sweet and sensitive. Brings a more mature Selena Gomez and overcoming the challenges. I can say that there are no bad tracks on the album and all of them are important for their lightness and depth.

    Her honesty and vulnerability within the lyrics of this album are inspiring and empowering, paired with catchy beats and synthetic sounds that are genre-breaking within the sound of pop. She has created something really special, songs that won’t tire from being overplayed because they are so rare and SO gorgeous.

    It's amazing how much Selena has taken off in every aspect of her life.
    In this album she allows us not only to knowing but also to feel a little bit of what she felt during the journey she faced until she reaches the point she is today. The intimate lyrics full of feelings that permeate all lands. Songs like LYTLM, Vulnerable and Sweet Place literally music to the ears.
    Class, boldness

    Rare doesn't break Selena Gomez's streak of making impressively quality music with every release. Even the album's lowest point is highly enjoyable. Her vocal performance in this album is impressively soothing. The lyricism in every single track truly proves Rare to be Gomez's most honest work yet.

    After more than 4 years of waiting, Selena Gomez brings us without doubt the best album of her career. With a range of sounds that mixes funk with pop and different sounds.

    This album is so real and she delves into her personal life and gets real about not only her struggles of her past 5 years but also finding a way to heal and become her best self. She plays with new sounds that fit her voice and makes songs that you can dance but you can also cry to.

    Selena’s long awaited album “Rare” has proven her musical diversity. Through intoxicating synths from “Look At Her Now” to lyrical depths from “Vulnerable”. Gomez has proven through every track that it is her time to shine and she will not be going anywhere. Gomez has completely taken control and now is shining brighter than ever before.

Una producción interesante e impresionante que no se supo aprovechar al cien, hay letras con buenos mensajes pero con poco contenido en ellas es más fácil hacer un interludio que diga; "No me amas tanto como yo lo hago, joder soy tan rara" en lugar de hacer una canción de 3:40 minutos que repite lo mismo una y otra vez, a pesar de eso Gómez nos da algunas canciones destacables como lo es Vulnerable, Cut you off, Sweeter place y Crowded Room.
    Un buen salto para una artista nula, aún le falta trabajar demasiado para estar a la altura de sus contemporáneas Miley Cyrus y Ariana Grande., esperemos que después de está evolución siga creciendo y superandose, por ahora se queda con el amarillo.

Gomez never had a very overpowering belting voice, but she utilized her emotion and tone in every song on this record. She sounds extremely confident and secure with how she’s singing and what she’s singing about on these songs with the sometimes simple, yet powerful lyrics. Is this album for everyone? No. But granted it’s still an album that has something for everyone, but at the same time it might actually please a lot of people who weren’t a fan of hers before. Why? Because of her great delivery on each song and how different this is from her previous work. Overall, this is a strong solid pop album that we haven’t really gotten recently. Genuine lyrics:emotion/tone being displayed on each song in a cohesive album is well.... “rare” nowadays. I highly recommend everyone to listen to the new stellar album ‘Rare’ by Selena Gomez. Expand

    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.
