    Probably this is her second best album, revival is iconic but I think that rare is really power, her voice is confident and finally after five years we have the album of Selena, but I would have that Selena released an album with the sound like to revival. But it's okay, people you know, vulnerable, a sweeter place, souvenir crowded room, booooooopsl
