    Absolutely in love with her and everything she does. Her music, her movies, her fashion, her philanthropy, her philosophy...etc. "Rare" music album is indeed rare.
    She has gone through too much. She deserves all the happiness in the world.

    Rare is subtle, sweet and sensitive. Brings a more mature Selena Gomez and overcoming the challenges. I can say that there are no bad tracks on the album and all of them are important for their lightness and depth.

    Her honesty and vulnerability within the lyrics of this album are inspiring and empowering, paired with catchy beats and synthetic sounds that are genre-breaking within the sound of pop. She has created something really special, songs that won’t tire from being overplayed because they are so rare and SO gorgeous.

    It's more of the same, it has only 3 good songs, the rest feels like stuffing.

    It's amazing how much Selena has taken off in every aspect of her life.
    In this album she allows us not only to knowing but also to feel a little bit of what she felt during the journey she faced until she reaches the point she is today. The intimate lyrics full of feelings that permeate all lands. Songs like LYTLM, Vulnerable and Sweet Place literally music to the ears.

    Selena Gomez es Reductive eterna sirvienta de su patrona Madonna. Quedo toda Rare que podemos esperar del perro del pop aunque supero a Mierga. Eterna patrona de Lady Transga.

    Rare doesn't break Selena Gomez's streak of making impressively quality music with every release. Even the album's lowest point is highly enjoyable. Her vocal performance in this album is impressively soothing. The lyricism in every single track truly proves Rare to be Gomez's most honest work yet.

    The pop princess has made a triumphant return and given us her best work to date. The album is refreshing, funky, and uplifting with deeply personal lyrics. Every song could be a hit. She has overcome numerous painful struggles and is now more mature and powerful than ever.

    A beautiful album, full of bops and worth the wait, it’s lyrically relatable and we can hear the growth of the artist throughout the album. Plus it’s been a while that I haven’t enjoyed a pop album. Definitely her BEST work.

    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.
