    This album is basura, nada innovador, solo canciones dedicadas para su ex, de paso que no incluyó Feel Me.

    Two words: pop perfection. This album shows her growth in the music industry and in her life. I'm so happy to see her coming back, we missed her.

    She could not top her previous, Revival. The album is not bad per day by any means, it just seems to miss the bar. Waiting four years for an album not as good as her previous is somewhat disappointing.

    Cada canción del álbum es una Masterpiece que solo Miss Gomez nos puede mostrar, sonidos muy Experimentales y con excelente ritmo y armonía, definitivamente este es su mejor álbum de toda su carrera

    This album is totally a grower. It might not be as awesome as it gets later on at first but is definitely an improvement from her previous work.

    Definitivamente, não é um álbum com um estilo novo, revolucionário. Entretanto, é a primeira vez que vemos um álbum da Selena nesse estilo, depois de anos. Cativou-me quando escutei pela segunda vez, quando me encontrei encantada pela sinceridade das letras contando suas histórias, e claro, como sempre, fiquei encantada por sua voz.

    The album is one of the best things that has appeared in the world in recent years! the melody, lyrics and feeling from end to end of each track. And a basic lesson in self-love and acceptance, all songs have something to relate to our lives and have a solution to this problem or learn about it. It took four years for that, and it was pretty offsetting.

    Rare is the perfect Revival's successor. A cohesive, empowering, vulnerable and rare album. It starts with the pop perfection track, Rare, and manages to keep the sound quality until the end, with high points like the incredibles tracks Vulnerable, Kinda Crazy and Cut You Off, ending with A Sweeter Place.

    This album his like her journal for her last 4 years, every song has an effort on it, the melodies are different to other albums, but some songs are just kinda repetitive lyrically.

    After more than 4 years of waiting, Selena Gomez brings us without doubt the best album of her career. With a range of sounds that mixes funk with pop and different sounds. Empowerment and self-love lyrics. Undoubtedly we started the decade with a great album, probably one of the best pop albums of recent years

    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.
