    'Rare' is literally Selena Gomez's "Magnum Opus". The production & lyrical value in this album gives me a more mature rhythmic feel to her music after listening to each of the 13 tracks. This is literally better than ariana grande's entire discography when it comes to lyricism, maturity, depth, emotion, and growth.

    Selena durante cuatro años estuvo ausente en las redes, pero trabajando en este álbum. Todo este álbum habla de todos los objetivos que le presento la vida y como pudo superarlos. Desde la primera canción; “Rare” hasta la última, “ A Sweeter Place”, puedes conectar con lo está tratando de demostrar y de cierta manera empatizar con ella y lo que dejó atrás. Simplemente magnifico

    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.
