    O álbum é horrível, ela devia desistir da carreira de cantora já q essa fracassada não têm talento nenhum.

    This album is a pure dumpster fire. Boring, repetitive and bland tracks have been the norm from Selena and yet again we see this on RARE. She can't seem to evolve her music and move forward from her Disney era, in some cases it feels like a step back from her other albums and I cannot understand how it took just over 4 years to make this album.

    The album is very good. Talk about loving yourself no matter what happens, but it does not appeal to me, that is, the rhythm, voice does not call me to download the music. Also congratulations Selena.

    Rare is full of filler, after four years from her enjoyable album “Revival”, Gomez delivers nothing new, many artists have digged into these sounds before, even better, even herself, the Buzz-singles she dropped during the past two years were way more great than what Rare offers. Rare is lack of emancipation, there is no proof here that show us she can really write songs or sing as well.

    Her best work period. The way her vocals and her style has evolved from her previous solo albums and the way the lyrics are so vital to each song.

    The only good song is LYTLM as a balad, the rest of the songs are the same rhythm and the voice weak and without force, the breathing voice is boring so that makes the album gets a monotony beat. Revival still being the best album by Selena.

    This album is such a huge step up from Revival. Proud of her for trying new sounds and being creative with it. To be honest, half of the songs all sounded the same to me at first but the more I listened to it the better it got. Amazing work Selena, this album perfectly captures your style, voice and aesthetic.

From the production to the songwriting, vocals and well-picked features; everything harmonizes perfectly. Its not easy stripping down emotionally and opening up about the things breaking us down, but Selena does it so gracefully - lyrics like “holding hands with the darkness and knowing my heart is allowed” are the proof for that. With “Rare”, Selena creates a lyrically, sonically and vocally master piece that’s refreshing and different - she shows once again she’s not afraid of taking risks. She’s literally in her own league now, distancing herself from other artists releasing generic music just for clout and charts. 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.
