    This is literally one of the best albums this year so far, so personal, so honest....I'm not even her fan (but i'll think about it)
    She makes good album, unlike her ex

    After waiting nearly 5 years, I couldn’t be happier with this album. The lyrics are awesome and the musical style really suits her voice.

    Es un álbum demasiado bueno, sin duda el mejor de toda su carrera. Las líricas son excelentes y se nota que los casi 5 años de descanso le sirvieron para mejorar su técnica vocal y perfeccionar los sonidos del álbum.

    The album is a masterpiece, the best pop album i've hear since Red from Taylor Swift.

    I had high expectations for this album, but after listening to it I cannot understand the hype. It's pop at its basic level. The high scores must be driven by Selena's many followers, but musically this album does not do it for me.

    a Selena mostrou um grande amadurecimento em todas as músicas do álbum, todas com refrões impecáveis com uma sonoridade muito gostosinha de ouvir várias e várias vezes sem enjoar e com certeza valeu toda a espera.

    Мне нравится этот альбом своим лёгким звучанием. Но даже несмотря на это, надев наушники и вслушавшись внимательно в инструментал и мотив, понимаешь насколько глубокая это музыка.

    Selena's new album can honestly be called triumphant. I was looking forward to this release more than anything in the world, every rumor about the release of a lead single, the album itself, made me nervous, because it was so hard for me to wait. I even at some point took offense at Selena, tried to drown out expectations by listening to other artists, but nothing came out because SelenaSelena's new album can honestly be called triumphant. I was looking forward to this release more than anything in the world, every rumor about the release of a lead single, the album itself, made me nervous, because it was so hard for me to wait. I even at some point took offense at Selena, tried to drown out expectations by listening to other artists, but nothing came out because Selena is too close to my soul. When "Lose You to Love Me" and "Look At Her Now" came out, I knew that my expectations would definitely be met. Now we will move smoothly to the main release of this year. There is no doubt that Selena has grown significantly in musical terms, it is possible that even reached its peak.

    For 10 years of musical activity "Rare" is the most honest and sincere album of a young pop icon. The record opens with the album's eponymous song, which vaguely resembles "Bad Liar", but a more rhythmic version. The composition makes it clear that now this music is "not a former actress of the Disney series", but a formed pop star who proved that she is much more than an "Ex-Actress".

    One of the contenders for the hit unconditionally are "Dance Again" and "Kinda Crazy", which captivate with their text and dance chorus, impregnated with jamming motifs. "People You Know" - the song that you want to get lost in the dance and cry from the touching message of the song. The girl sings "what can hurt more, if not that people can leave" - one of the sad songs of the album.

    In "Let Me Get Me", the artist appeals to herself that sometimes it is better to forget about worries and twisted thoughts and give yourself up to full immersion in dancing. This song is perfect as a pill for depression.

    "Ring" and "Fun" have become really untested songs for me, which undoubtedly have an attractive text and rhythm, but I think that in the near future these songs will still capture my soul.

    If we talk about another sad song, then of course it will be "Vulnerable", in addition to the touching text, the song also sounds stuck in my head chorus, which we will hum all day.

    You can't forget about perhaps the most cheeky song on the album, namely "Cut You Off". Selena sings quite defiantly and makes it clear to one **** that it's time to throw this weight off their shoulders. I can call this song the most adult song of Selena and one of the best on the album.

    And here we come to the end and touch on two unexpected duets with talented rappers 6LACK and Kid Cudi. To begin with," Crowded Room " is the quietest song on the album, but you still want to get up and relax and immerse yourself in Selena's caressing vocals.

    We could not see Selena on the radar for a long time and did not know where she was, so Selena with the song "a Sweeter Place" notified us where she was. She was far from reality, and this time she was completely reborn. When I heard a piece of the song, I sang it every day. And so the song lived up to expectations, as well as the entire album as a whole.

    I thought the album would be good, but not as good as it came out. 4 years of living in everyday expectations it all went for good reason. We all got the best Selena album. Selena has never been a singer who successfully appeared and abruptly began to lose relevance. With each album sales and success are higher, not every artist can achieve this. I believe that it is better to get a great result after a while than to successfully start and go to the bottom and be forgotten. We all live at the same time as Selena Gomez, appreciate it.

Este álbum es grandioso, sus estética, letras, es todo perfecto, ella en el una voz muy relajante, me hubiera gustado que tuviera mas canciones pero fuera de eso esta súper bien. Lo único que no me gusta es su portada que podría haber sido mejor pero si ella la escogió fue por algo y no somos nadie para juzgarla.… Expand

    She did it all, put her whole soul into this album and it's perfect, it's sensitive, fun, real, it all conveyed in such a light and striking lyrics, her voice makes you go along with the story told, flying!

    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.
