    - All the songs sound the same
    - Ring is a stolen song from the french song "Derniere danse"
    - In many songs we can really hear the autotune which is really sad especially when you talk about personnal things
    - The album is like always about Justin Bieber
    I feel like she could have done so much better especially after 4 years working on it... it's really sad    … Expand

    um bom álbum, muito bem trabalhado, porém ele demonstra que Selena gomez ainda precisa evoluir e aprender muito para chegar a produzir o álbum do ano, esse definitivamente não é o álbum do ano, porém ele não deixa de ser coeso e bem trabalhado

    “Rare” is an epic and necessary album for those who suffer with self-esteem. A refreshing, empowering and yet, vulnerable pop manifesto, which combines into different genres and experimental sounds for Gomez’s discography until this date.

From the post-disco “Dance Again”, to the emotional-dance orientated tracks, such as “Vulnerable” and “People You Know”, to the classic 2000s R&B “Crowded Room”, this body of work finally comes together on experimental tracks like “Let Me Get Me”, “Fun”, “Cut You Off” and “A Sweeter Place” – the last one features Kid Cudi. It’s safe to say that Selena Gomez’s “Rare” is a more mature album than her last “Revival” and a more personal inside than the tracks she has been releasing since 2017. Gomez’s shows us that she is coming to place when it comes to music and self-love. A great album, with great lyrical content and an overwhelming, exciting and colorful production.… Expand

    The most perfect album of Selena Gomez. In it we can see that Selena has put all her soul and feelings to create it. Each song tells us a story, and that's really cool.

    Selena shows a very, very sultry and confident side with this album. A very disco dance vibe. The songs might be about love and discovering you deserve much better in life than what happens to you, but the lyrics are still different and cool. The production is clean and doesn't overpower her voice. It takes two or three listens to catch on!

    Selena's new album can honestly be called triumphant. I was looking forward to this release more than anything in the world, every rumor about the release of a lead single, the album itself, made me nervous, because it was so hard for me to wait. I even at some point took offense at Selena, tried to drown out expectations by listening to other artists, but nothing came out because SelenaSelena's new album can honestly be called triumphant. I was looking forward to this release more than anything in the world, every rumor about the release of a lead single, the album itself, made me nervous, because it was so hard for me to wait. I even at some point took offense at Selena, tried to drown out expectations by listening to other artists, but nothing came out because Selena is too close to my soul. When "Lose You to Love Me" and "Look At Her Now" came out, I knew that my expectations would definitely be met. Now we will move smoothly to the main release of this year. There is no doubt that Selena has grown significantly in musical terms, it is possible that even reached its peak.

    For 10 years of musical activity "Rare" is the most honest and sincere album of a young pop icon. The record opens with the album's eponymous song, which vaguely resembles "Bad Liar", but a more rhythmic version. The composition makes it clear that now this music is "not a former actress of the Disney series", but a formed pop star who proved that she is much more than an "Ex-Actress".

    One of the contenders for the hit unconditionally are "Dance Again" and "Kinda Crazy", which captivate with their text and dance chorus, impregnated with jamming motifs. "People You Know" - the song that you want to get lost in the dance and cry from the touching message of the song. The girl sings "what can hurt more, if not that people can leave" - one of the sad songs of the album.

    In "Let Me Get Me", the artist appeals to herself that sometimes it is better to forget about worries and twisted thoughts and give yourself up to full immersion in dancing. This song is perfect as a pill for depression.

    "Ring" and "Fun" have become really untested songs for me, which undoubtedly have an attractive text and rhythm, but I think that in the near future these songs will still capture my soul.

    If we talk about another sad song, then of course it will be "Vulnerable", in addition to the touching text, the song also sounds stuck in my head chorus, which we will hum all day.

    You can't forget about perhaps the most cheeky song on the album, namely "Cut You Off". Selena sings quite defiantly and makes it clear to one **** that it's time to throw this weight off their shoulders. I can call this song the most adult song of Selena and one of the best on the album.

    And here we come to the end and touch on two unexpected duets with talented rappers 6LACK and Kid Cudi. To begin with," Crowded Room " is the quietest song on the album, but you still want to get up and relax and immerse yourself in Selena's caressing vocals.

    We could not see Selena on the radar for a long time and did not know where she was, so Selena with the song "a Sweeter Place" notified us where she was. She was far from reality, and this time she was completely reborn. When I heard a piece of the song, I sang it every day. And so the song lived up to expectations, as well as the entire album as a whole.

    I thought the album would be good, but not as good as it came out. 4 years of living in everyday expectations it all went for good reason. We all got the best Selena album. Selena has never been a singer who successfully appeared and abruptly began to lose relevance. With each album sales and success are higher, not every artist can achieve this. I believe that it is better to get a great result after a while than to successfully start and go to the bottom and be forgotten. We all live at the same time as Selena Gomez, appreciate it.

    It’s the best album in history hands down end of discussion. She took her time and she came out slaying and ending careers. If this doesn’t get number one I will sue

    The first half of the album from 'Rare' to 'People You Know' is amazing. Each song has it's own individual sound and is notable. However, the second half of the album isn't memorable and the songs begin to sound like one continuous track given the homogenised sound and also the repetitive lyrics. The highlights of this album are 'Dance Again', 'Lose You to Love Me', 'Ring' andThe first half of the album from 'Rare' to 'People You Know' is amazing.

The highlights of this album are 'Dance Again', 'Lose You to Love Me', 'Ring' and 'Vulnerable'. The pitfalls and songs that probably should have been scrapped are 'Look at Her Now' and 'Fun'. The irony in this is Revival and Rare are both lyrically more sophisticated however are not cohesive records. At least with Stars Dance there was some cohesion.… Expand

    This album SCREAMS Selena Gomez from start to finish! Every track shows Selena’s growth as an artist but is also undoubtedly hers, her spirit and personality really shine through in this incredible body of work that gets better after every listen.

    “Revival” can rest in peace now. Was honored as deserve. This album is magnificent and makes you want to listen again and again ... The partnerships are great, too. “Crowded room”, “Ring” and “Vulnerable” are my favorites right now.

    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.
