    I personally really enjoy the production and the feel each song has. Selena successfully delivered a cohesive body of work that flows which hasn’t been present in her past projects. I also really like the fact you can tell each song was tailored to her unique tone. I will definitely be streaming.

A lot of singers don’t credit their team, but she was very clear from the start who she was working with in each song and where it came from!!

    This album was 4+ years in the making, and it’s obvious why. This album comes with a lot of variety that most artists this day don’t have. Dare I say, it’s the Best album by an ex-act. Like other powerful women in the industry it shows the strength and vulnerability woman experience, while still managing to have Fun. (hehe see what I did there).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, let’s start. let's be honest, Selena never had great talents, she doesn’t sing, dance or write lyrics, but she pleased us with groovy melodies (which of course weren’t written by her, but still), and these melodies became radio hits (no wonder lol they this was always calculated). ‘Revival’ was not a work of art or a super-high-quality product, it was ordinary, but varied and vibrant. Even if there was no logical sense in building a set list, in clips, in the era itself or in the image of Selena during the era .. we will forget all this by forgiving and accepting :) And now came out 'Rare' and this... very bad, I'm seriously oooooooooooooooooo bad. the album is raw, empty and absolutely none. such music will come down for background listening in cafes on weekends, somewhere there on the radio, for a greater feeling that it does not pretend. it blows Selena up so much that he is literally filled with her dullness as an artist, her mediocrity. and that’s it. he is somewhat similar to the recently released ‘Lover’, but he doesn’t have any lyrics that Miss Swift wrote alone, and Gomez wrote all this with co-authors. in general, the album is so flat and even (not in a good way) that I want to cry because she lost such a chance to abruptly return to the industry and break her competitors. but she chose the path easier - again 0 concepts and stylistics, 0 creativity, everything is factory and static, 0 vocals (… Expand
