    I just feel like she won’t be able to sing most of the songs live It will probably be an terrible live performance just like she did at the AMA’a

    This album really shows how far she has come. When I first listened I was worried that I wouldn’t enjoy this album, because it explored so many different sounds. The more I have listened to it the more I love it. The lyrics are great, the production is amazing and overall it’s a great album to start off the new decade.

    Rare es un disco bastante raro, pero firme y fiel a lo que quiere contar, con cada canción te vas a un estado de ánimo diferente y logras identificarte con cada una de ellas de alguna forma. Letras crudas y sonidos agradables, sin duda es el momento de ponerte sentimental con este disco y aunque no seas fan de Selena te caerá muy fresco, ella se adueñó totalmente y lo supo hacer.

    Album is so good. My favorite song is rare, vulnerable, crowded room, kinda crazy, cut you off, and dance again. The lyrics are the best and so meaningful.

    Un álbum demasiado bueno, lleno de letras muy profundas y maduras, un ejemplo de superación y amor propio, sin dejar atrás la gran producción, es una joya, lo mejor de su carrera!

    Finally an album after 4 years and each day was worth the wait. The album stands out in terms of vocals, production and how much selena has improved in these years after all she has been through. The lyrics fit perfectly into the beats. If you are looking for something new with an essence of pop this is the album for you.The album comprises a total of 0 skips and 13 bops.

    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.
