    É o seu trabalho mais maduro, com um conceito certo e coeso, com as produções das músicas de ótima qualidade e letras profundas. Um álbum muito bom, sem dúvidas um dos melhores nesses últimos anos.

    A totally new but fitting sounds for Selena! She explores different styles throughout 13 songs and it doesn’t disappoint. Perfect music to blast in the car, listen to at a concert, or just while you’re cleaning. 10/10

    Rare is such a unique piece of art. The whole album sounds like something that’s never been here before; Selena doesn’t follow trends, she makes them, and by doing so she creates nothing but pure pop excellence.

From the production to the songwriting, vocals and well-picked features; everything harmonizes perfectly. Its not easy stripping down emotionally and opening up about the things breaking us down, but Selena does it so gracefully - lyrics like “holding hands with the darkness and knowing my heart is allowed” are the proof for that. With “Rare”, Selena creates a lyrically, sonically and vocally master piece that’s refreshing and different - she shows once again she’s not afraid of taking risks. She’s literally in her own league now, distancing herself from other artists releasing generic music just for clout and charts. Expand

    It feels like Selena Gomez grew up. Not caring about charts, opening up about depression, anxiety and the truest form of ended love and its bad chapters. Mature sounds!

    It’s a fresh masterpiece and it’s completely different from what we’ve heard from her before. Revival was good but RARE is in the next level. It’s also good to be able to notice that there’s some influence from other artists in the tracks. A person who listens to other people to learn and grow up in music deserves nothing else but recognition.

A work full of letters people who are not repetitive to the ear and who enjoy every time you listen to the song again and again.

    Okay, let me be honest. I can say that the album wasn’t worth waiting 4 years for, BUT it’s still a nice pop-album with few bangers.

    Why did I bother listening to this trash album? It’s terrible and full of cookie-cutter pop song rejects that other pop artists didn’t want. And her voice hasn’t gotten any better, she’s still Whisperlena. I wish she’d just retire and stick to acting. 0/5

    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. ...
