    The production in this album is insane, the lyrics are playful and well-written, and Selena Gomez's vocal performance is so beautiful. The long period of waiting for this album is truly worth it. "Rare" is Selena's most coherent album yet, both sonically and lyrically.

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

    Hands down the best pop album of the recent years. Albums like “Rare” are so rare, that’s why we will be remembering them as decade defining works of art in the future. Listening to each track is like taking a fresh breath into Selena Gomez’s magical mindset. Every track stands ouy and deserves their own moment. No skip, every track is single worthy.

    Selena truly shines on this album. Her voice is soothing and conveys every emotion she has gone through in the past few years. Not only is she vulnerable and incredibly open about her feelings, she is also confident and content about being in a good place in life. The collabs are also amazing. All in all, this album has a message for everyone in its entirety.

The album opener & title track “Rare” itself is a highlight moment and from there the album flows so perfectly until the end, “A Sweater Place” which leaves us excited for the next chapter. This album deserves recognition, not because it’s a Selena Gomez’s album, but because it’s a great pop record that will be remembered in years for its originality & passion sound and that’s why we need to celebrate this album now as to encourage other pop stars to follow more unique paths like Gomez did with this Rare.    … Expand

    Rare is clearly her best work and an exceptional pop album. The growth demonstrated from Revival to Rare is the reason why her music is still so impactful. From the production to lyrics to her voice, only Gomez could make this album so great.

    This is amazing. It's beautiful, empowering, fun and vulnerable. There's not a single bad song and even though they sound so different they're still sonically cohesive. Such a masterpiece. I'm in love.

    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.
