    generic pop coupled with copied samples makes the promise of personal album a real disaster especially given the sheer amount of composers. Worthy of an album made of discarded songs

    A mess. It's sad she had to put other artists to do the high notes she could never reach, how sad is it. Can she please give up her music career?

    Superficial e sem coerência. Um álbum sem nenhuma emoção, o que é comum na indústria mas, algo inesperado já que é taxado como o trabalho mais pessoal da carreira da Selena.

    "Rare" was a good album for Selena. There was a slight maturing of her sound and leaves plenty of room to expand in her future work. Stand out tracks were "Rare," "Dance Again", "Vulnerable," and "Fun."

    She continues to deliver songs much different from what you would expect off a mainstream pop artist, the lyrics, the production, her vocals, everything is on point on Rare, an spectacullar growth from her previous album.

    im really disappointed by rare im not a fan but i was excited after hearing lytlm... turns out the album itself sounds like a 2015 mashup of every type of song that worked at the time, lyrics are bland, not really deep and it all seems very commercial. i really was hoping for her to move on with a more mature and emotional work... not that time i guess
  58. Jan 10, 2020

    Selena continues to do the unexpected, expand the boundaries of what pop music can be, and set trends that we’ll be hearing a lot of in the near future. Every song has it’s own individuality and yet they all blend perfectly together to make an ethereal sonically cohesive pop masterpiece, something we haven’t seen since Taylor Swift’s “1989.”

    Our pop princess came to show all her vulnerability and what she's been through. With really good vocals, Selena knows how to use her voice and make music that touch people.

    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.
