    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Extremely intimist, well produce and lyrically great. A mature masterpiece, away from our actual state of pop music, Selena shows herself confident, confortable and original. Congratulations!!… Expand

    Um álbum que consegue mecher com nossas emoções, cheio de sentimentos e muito bem construído, o som de apresenta mais maduro diferente dos álbuns anteriores.

    Selena Gomez has constantly proved to everyone that she knows how to evolve as an artist and how she’s never scared of taking risks in the music industry! WHAT AN EPIC ALBUM!!! She did it again!!

    A pop perfection by Gomez. This album is pop gold, and Gomez's breathy vocals adds a soothing texture to every song. Taylor Swift' 1989 has officially found it's successor and it's 'Rare ' A cohesive masterpiece. Gomez just keeps amazing us with every album.

    It's the best album of Selena Gomez, It's so beauty, fresh, fun and powerful, every song is better than last one, after this 5 year I see a new Selena so wonderful, young but mature, I say honestly I Love RARE.

    Every song has a different vibe and doesn’t follow with what’s currently trending in the pop industry which makes the album so good and proves the singer’s versatility.

    Uma espera incansável de 4 anos que resultou num trabalho coeso, maduro, tocante e posso dizer que o melhor de sua carreira por trazer consigo sua bagagem emocional de uma forma tão simplória e positiva, a qual passa por tudo ao longo desses anos de forma muito irreverente com palavras profundas e melodias tocantes! Um retorno que era mais que aguardado e que será lembrado por seu talento!

    Selena Gomez exudes sensuality and confidence with her new album RARE. With her poppy and feel good vibe sounds, Selena demonstrates that she can be versatile with her craft.

Revival was a mature album but Rare catapults this pop princess into a Pop Queen by showing her growth in the music industry with Gomez's first single, Lose You To Love Me, reaching the #1 spot. Each song on her Rare album shows different vibes but still manages to maintain a cohesive theme and not just a bunch of random songs thrown into an album. Gomez delivers an honest, vulnerable, raw and relatable album and shares her struggles with anxiety, heartbreak and low self-esteem yet still manages to show a positive outcome in her music by saying there's always a bright side to things. Gomez did an outstanding job.… Expand

    Fresh, new, all the songs have a strong bass melody which reminds us of "Bad Liar". The instrumental are modern but have a vintage vibe.
    The lyrical content is mature, personal, deep. Definitely her best album.

An extremely cohesive sound that transports you into another dimension, with features from 6LACK and Kid Cudi she adds diversity to her sounds that leaves you breathless, Vulnerable to People You Know, she knows how to create magic and it has shone throughout the album. Another great pop album by Ms.Gomez and has everyone talking. An amazing body of work.… Expand

    A refreshing album in this streaming era where artists just put out generic songs for streams. A new, experimental pop-sound while also diving in new genres. Stans-out tracks are Rare, People You Know, Vulnerable. The collaborations with KID CUDI sand 6LACK are amazing as well. Selena’s best album!

    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.
