    Chile what in the pure hell is this. 0 depth to her music, 0 consistency and no flow. The only consistent thing on this album is the weak vocals that plague every single track. I wish I could get the time back I spent listening to this album.

Rare is catchy, pop, dreamy; Dance Again is more dark, but also linked to what she’s been through; Ring and Vulnerable are hits!!! Then we have People You Know: this song relates to me to the MAX!!!
    Let Me Get Me, Kinda Crazy, Fun and Cut You Off are simply genius song, a mix of genres, very pop but always truthful song!
    And then we have Crowded Room and A Sweeter Place: I have to be honest, I was expecting more with the 6lack feat, but A Sweeter Place is lit!!! I’ve listened the album twice now, and I’m honestly so proud of Selena! Peace out    … Expand

    The songs are so boring, and her voice is the same in all of them, her lyrics are songs that other artists didn't want and she keeps crying for a guy who is already married, nobody likes this victim character anymore. The album is not bad, but not good either, it's just a common album, nothing new.

Com a sensação de que estou ouvindo a mesma música do início ao fim, Selena Gomez prova mais uma vez o que pensam sobre sua versatilidade: ela é inexistente. Aproveitando o marketing nojento de seu álbum, no qual em meio ao casamento do seu ex casado ela lança uma música chorando sobre ele, ela usa a superação como forma de válvula de escape para fingir algo que não aconteceu. Perto fos 30, todos esperavam algo maduro, mas a sensação que passa é que ela nunca saiu de 2013, com faixas parecidas com o Star Dance e outras músicas muito pareciras com Bad Liar. A verdade é que já passou da hora de crescer e inovar, porém ela se prese a uma sonoridade linear e que não surpreende em nada. Falta emoção, falta inovação, e é explícito que sua voz sem edição é fraca e muito longe de ser uma cantora de verdade, estando nessa indústria apenas pela conveniência e por aproveitar as polêmicas em torno de seu relacionamento passado.… Expand

    Autêntico, raro honesto. Álbum nota 10 após 4 anos, e é incrível como cada faixa é coesa e não se perde em meio ao álbum. Não são músicas comerciais e sim histórias.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's the best album of Selena Gomez's career. Rare it's an album for you to cry and think about in the dance floor. It has very strong lyrics and production as strong as. Highlighting the bridges that are out of this world, Cut You Off has this amazing guitar and in Kinda Crazy Selena's flawless vocals that take you to another dimension and give you a feeling of ecstatic ecstasy.

    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.
