    This album is wonderfully fresh, unique, triumphant and cohesive. She's grown so much as a human and artist and it bleeds through this album. She's extremely raw and consistent this 'Rare'. Highlights on the album are 'Dance Again' 'Vulnerable' 'Let Me Get Me' ' Crowded Room' and 'A Sweeter Place'

    Is have a very Autotune and it is bad. Many people did not like this and it is the reason why I do not like it, it is boring and a thousand times I stay with Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande that is a real album

    The second album brings great evolution and maturation by Selena, we see important questions about self-esteem and self-love. And each second is extremely compelling. It's a beautiful job.

    What a great way to start the 20's! After 4 years in the making of Selena Gomez's long awaited third studio album, it's safe to say the waiting and big anticipation has been generously rewarded. In a time where the music market is filled up with generic trap and r&b songs, getting to listen to "RARE" is like a new fresh breath of air that gives you a taste of euphoria and bliss. It'sWhat a great way to start the 20's! After 4 years in the making of Selena Gomez's long awaited third studio album, it's safe to say the waiting and big anticipation has been generously rewarded. In a time where the music market is filled up with generic trap and r&b songs, getting to listen to "RARE" is like a new fresh breath of air that gives you a taste of euphoria and bliss. It's doesn't require a master's degree to see how the pop star's sound has evolved in a miraculously the best way possible though it's not also quite surprising after Gomez tasted the waters back in 2017 with "Bad Liar" & "Fetish" when they became two of her most critically acclaimed songs from her discography as "Bad Liar" became the number 1 song of the that year according to Billboard critics. All of the songs fit perfectly into the album's concept and theme both lyrically and sonically and it's obvious that Gomez has found her sound in music, a sound that not everyone is willing and able to pull up. Throughout the tracks the singer makes it very clear there's no place in her life for anything but confidence, self-acceptance and strength as she also embraces her own vulnerability and weaknesses. With the release of "RARE", Gomez raises the bar quite high and it may be hard for other artists to reach it any time soon as more and more established pop artists lean towards the "new wave" sound. With all said, it's more than clear that "RARE" is truly her best body of work (so far!) and we are only yet to see and witness the pop princess's next music triumphs.… Expand

    Selena seguiu a fórmula do tão Bem Sucedido Revival, com músicas calmas e letras maravilhosas, batidas calmas e de um Soft Pop que botaria inveja em qualquer cantor que tente fazer algo intimista e calmo, Acho que esse molde Maravilhoser dela precisa continuar.

Toda e qualquer semelhança com Bar Liar e Fetish, são mera coincidência, o álbum soa mais original que os singles que ficaram de fora. Não vá esperando Pops dançantes que vai tocar na balada alá "A Year Without Rain" ou "Me And The Rhytm" o de mais próximo a um dos dois citados é "Look At Her Now" que soa como a final liberdade para a "Disney Baby" que Selena foi e talvez seja sobre a recuperação dela após o término com Abel (The Weeknd). Acho que o álbum precisa ser apreciado por pessoas que tem mente e ouvidos abertos a um mundo novo. Dou destaque a "Vulnerable" "Ring" e "Kinda Crazy" acho que você precisa achar a sua própria ordem natural de ouvir o álbum, a distribuição de faixas também não foi o forte da produção, o Início poderia muito bem ser um Prelúdio aos moldes de Revival já que se encaixaria de maneira perfeita no álbum. Mas enfim a bicha deu tudo que conseguiu e entrega essa jóia rara de um pop lapidado e forjado nas melhores mãos e com letras fofas e que lembram muito os álbuns de Nelly Furtado durante os anos 2000 (Coisas que eu amo de paixão).… Expand

    Most songs have the same chopped out flow with very little vocal range. First half seems much more convincing and thought out than the second half. Not that i expected an Adele like album but it did left me a little dissapointed. But all in all a solid album for carefree car rides.

    "A varsity-squad production team, including various Max Martin-affiliated Swedes and the ace songwriting duo of Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels, bring their considerable contributions — though their job, of course, is to make Gomez sound like nothing less than her own woman: a girl interrupted but now returned, in Rare form.”

    I think this was some of Sel’s best music yet! I feel like she was her most opened and true self. I’m the beats of every song are so catchy! Every song is different in its own, unique way. Rare is golden.

    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.
