    I'm really proud of the woman she's getting around, and brought an album certainly with her soul and all love. The sound is so hot to hear, and her totally pure vocals that tends to be the voice of an angel. The album is totally cohesive and the way it proposed all these years. To say that this is a generic, it's certainly lying to yourself.

    It is an excellent album where we can see how Selena plays or discovers new rhythms and sounds, the great growth since Revival is also noticeable and one we noticed a Selena more sure of herself and her lyrics are of self-esteem and acceptance that are very important issues today, if Selena gave us an album of self-love. Amazing!

    Rare is an album that defiantly looks forward and is rooted in positivity. Not one to wallow, Gomez would prefer to dance away her heartache. The result is a collection that offers a perfectly balanced mix of exuberant bangers, like the sashaying carefree ebullience of Dance Again, mixed with down tempo slow jams like Kinda Crazy that offer numerous subtle and compelling melodic twists and turns.

The production is also well done. Each song was produced differently. When Look at her now was released, I thought I knew what the sound of the album would be like, but I stand corrected.

I always say quality over quantity, but the album’s so good that I don’t mind if it would’ve been longer. Like I was hungry for more songs cause it was that good. Her voice has also improved so much.

Luego de 4 años de tantos altos y bajos desde su última producción "Revival", a sus 27 años, Gomez ha logrado superarse y atraverse ha cosas que no habría hecho antes. "Rare", sin duda, es uno de los mejores albumes de los últimos tiempos que ,estoy seguro, no sólo logró gran éxito comercial tras debutar en la cima del Billboard 200, sino que es simplemente una pieza maestra de la música, que conserva una fragilidad y delicadeza a pesar del viaje y la historia detrás del mismo que, por sí solo, muestra las diferentes facetas de una persona con una fortaleza y claridad que es difícil encontrar actualmente, este es sin duda un gran respiro de la tendencia actual, pues en vez de usar conceptos modernos que fastidian los oídos, Selena decidió conquistar hablando sobre sí misma, cosa que ha resultado excelente para estar identificado y sentirse como uno en un millón. El album comienza con el sencillo que titula al mismo, un canto de amor propio que termina por cautivar con la filosofía de ser único y excepcional aunque nadie lo vea. El segundo en la lista, Dance Again es un baile disco-pop pegadizo que nos invita a seguirlo con una melodía inconfundible. Look At Her Now es himno icónico de feminismo y poder, cien por ciento bailable, que recuerda que siempre se puede subir desde el fondo aún con todo en contra. Obviamente no se puede olvidar al número 1 en el Billboard Hot 100, Lose You To Love Me, una balada hecha obra de arte sobre una relación amorosa a la que por fin se le dice adiós. Respecto a las demás pistas. En Ring, la palabra misma pierde el significado a lo largo de la letra y música, impregnadas del ritmo latino como su hermana, Let Me Get Me que es inconfundible por su acentuada letra y acústica de baile movido. Obviamente no se pueden terminar de resaltar cada canción, Cut You Off, fue uno de los muchos cambios en la música de Gomez al incluir la guitarra eléctrica y transformarlo en una pista agradable aunque simple. Kinda Crazy experimenta con la trompeta y un gran brillo tecnológico junto a otros instrumentos, lo mismo que Fun, sin trompeta pero divertida y fresca. People You Know es simple, con letra y ritmo interesantes que funciona al crear una melodía única y seria. Crowded Room funciona como la introducción de Gomez al R&B mostrando un buen comienzo que se complementa con la voz de 6lack siendo la primera colaboración del disco. A Sweteer Place es Gomez en su estilo alternativo más oscuro y profundo emocionalmente de la mano de Kid Cudi, convirtiendo a la canción en la segunda colaoración. Vulnerable es la mejor de las pistas, son los temores mismos de Gomez presentados en un bella canción, con una melodía celestial y una letra que penetra como cuchillo, siendo única, emotiva, fresca y hermosamente una maestría musical subestimada. Finalmente sobra decir que Gomez tomó todo su ser, y lo volvió un disco personal que te llega al corazón y con el que te puedes identificar. Rare es el album del año. Expand
