    Magical and cohesive! So refreshing! There is something very special about this album, and I would argue that it really stands out in the soft pop genre.

    It is a beautiful album, with very good lyrics. It's about trust, stalking and self-esteem

    Selena keeps growing every album more. Rare is a very different and new side of her and I love it.

    Selena Gomez can do no wrong when it comes to pop music. A lot of the songs follow the same minimalist alternative feeling as her 2016 single “Bad Liar,” which is a really great thing.

    A very fun album. No lag from start to finish. RARE is a breath of fresh air from the stale sound of current pop. Pleasantly surprised.

    Best pop album of century. Every song is so different and unique from each other. Can't choose a favourite. Every song is perfect but vulnerable is perfectest!

    A great album with magnificent songs, each one different from one another.
    It connects perfectly with the audience, since everyone can relate to each of the songs.

    Worth the 4 year wait! I love this album so much that I had a hard time ranking my favourites because each track in this masterpiece takes you from a mixture of multiple genres to another.

    Top 5 are Dance Again, Cut You Off, Rare, Lose You To Love Me and Fun :)

    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.
