    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really great album! The only perfect follow-up and evolution from her previous body of work , Revival. She utilizes her voice and has a variety of songs that stand out on their own yet create a cohesive body of work. There are very few skips on this album in my opinion, only two to be exact - Ring and Let Me Get Me. Expand

    [10/1 12:12 AM] Hugotica: *DANCE AGAIN:* A segunda música do álbum, 'Dance Again', é literalmente uma completa balada, a letra, batida e a voz da cantora está ótima, essa música, com certeza, nos trás uma nostalgia do pop de antigamente, coisa que não devia ter morrido, ótima escolha da Selena colocá-la no álbum

    [10/1 12:15 AM] Hugotica: *Look at her now:* Essa música é um ato de amor próprio, uma mulher dizendo que não precisa de um homem e que está muito melhor sem ele é tudo o que precisamos, nessa música, que foi single promocional, a Selena finalmente mostrou o quanto está bem e se amor apesar de qualquer coisa, um tiro de amor próprio em todo mundo.

    *Minha nota é: 10/10*
    [10/1 12:18 AM] Hugotica: *Lose you to love me:* Em LYTLM todo mundo esperava uma porrada de indireta e shade para o Bieber, mas logo ela mostrou, com letra profunda, que superou e que largou tudo o que lhe faria mal no passado, finalmente ela tacou uma última pá de terra nesse relacionamento e tudo o que ele representa! uma perfeita balada.

    *Minha nota é: 10/10*

    Literally an album full of bops! It’s insane to see Selena's growth as a person and as an artist through this album. Definitely her most personal album which connects to everyone who is listening to it. There are a few songs that aren’t that remarkable but most of them have great potential. If you are wondering if you should or not listen to it, then you surely should listen.

    O álbum não apresenta nenhuma evolução musical e nem artística da instagrammer Selena Gomez. Além disso, as músicas soam muito similares e apresentam uma produção de baixa qualidade. Selena também não soube escolher boas colaborações para seu novo álbum, visto que elas não são proveitosas e não apresentam nenhuma coesão com o projeto.

    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.
