    This album shows extreme growth from her past albums. The lyrics and beats are mature and unique to themselves. Not many pop songs sound like these right now... she’s dangerous. The pop world needs to watch out!

Селена и ее команда преодолевают новую музыкальную границу, успешно вписываясь в современные музыкальные тренды, при этом создавая уникальный продукт. Для Селены Гомез это большой прогресс после умопомрочительного Revival. Теперь она уверенная в себе женщина, она знает чего хочет и как это получит.

    Даже если изначально песня кажется довольно средней, то слушая ее повторно, в каждой без исключений, находишь свои особенные моменты, какие-то интересные штучки которые Гомез создает своим нежным вокалом или музыкальные истории. Постпродакшн песен заставляет подняться и аплодировать! 4 года которые длилась запись этого альбома максимально себя оправдывают.

    На данный момент это лучшая работа Селены!    … Expand

    Despite the fact that musically it’s a very upbeat, content, empowering and confident album you can also see the growth in her. For example, if you compare it to her previous album “Revival” , lyrically this one is much more mature. Lyrics from “Revival”: “Maybe I should be more like her.

    Her best album yet.

    This is her return and she's unapologetic about it. Every song is coherent with the next, beautiful.

    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.
