    In this album you can hear Selena’s growth in life, relationships and state of mind. The whole album flows together yet each song has its own distinct sound.

    Without a doubt, her most personal album till now. Revival was good, but in Rare she is involved in every single song.

    the only meaningful songs in this album that I can respect would probably be “cut you off”, and “rare”. Other than that the majority of the album falls extremely flat.

Give her the credit she deserves. A lot of artists aren’t as authentic as she is. You can tell she spent a lot of time writing for this album and it is her most authentic work to date. Expand

    Este é o melhor álbum que a Selena lançou até agora. Acredito que superou o Revival, pois encontrou um estilo que realmente combina com o dela. Vocais maravilhosos, letras profundas e batidas perfeitas. Uma vibe triste e ao mesmo tempo libertadora.

    Este álbum es una joya desde inicio hasta el final. Selena con este álbum nos dice que es su momento llego, nos comparte sus sentimientos en diversas situaciones en su vida. Vulnerable merece ser single.

    Basic!! Most boring and repetitive sound ever. Definitely didn’t top Revival. She is going to have success but doesn’t deserve. She took 4 years to create this mess? Wow... disappointed but not surprised.

    this album was perfect to show how selena is a terrible artist. without talent and propped up on her ex boyfriend. what a shame. taylor swift is best, but I will rank 1 for the effort of trying to be relevant.

    This is definitely not one of Selena Gomez best's. Following up her magestic album Revival, the new album RARE is flat, and does not bring any exitment. Except for Lose You To Love Me, RARE is not a good work of art, and doesn't fit in 2020.

Todos esses bons aspectos ligados a composições incríveis começam a ficar despercebidos quando se conectam com instrumentais e uma produção que não sabe se entra de vez na proposta intimista de Selena ou se não foge do que se espera de uma artista pop atualmente: conteúdo comercial. A vibe do disco parece buscar um ponto de equilíbrio, buscando ser um trabalho íntimo, mas que ainda vá tocar nas rádios. A produção é confusa e mesmo ouvindo mais de uma vez não há como descrever a sonoridade do disco.

    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.
