    Selena Gomez's maturation is remarkable on this album. For a person who enjoys calm and slow music, Rare is undoubtedly a great choice.

    Despite the fact that musically it’s a very upbeat, content, empowering and confident album you can also see the growth in her. For example, if you compare it to her previous album “Revival” , lyrically this one is much more mature. Lyrics from “Revival”: “Maybe I should be more like her.

    It is a cool album, with fun nuances, the production of the songs are very well worked and intelligent. Selena's voice explores new nuances, sweet, sexy and chill. It is a disc that does not stress and relaxes a lot. I have returned the self-confidence. thanks Selena.

    ~7.2~ 4 anos após seu último álbum, Revival -um marco em sua carreira- Selena Gomez lança Rare, seu segundo álbum, enterrando todas as expectativas e trazendo um material e discurso duvidosos.

Alegando ser seu projeto mais pessoal, o álbum conta com 39 compositores, incluindo Selena. O que traz certa dúvida, pois algumas músicas já tinham sido gravadas na voz de outras artistas, como Charli XCX e Bebe Rexha, muito antes de Selena ter esse crédito sobre as músicas e composições. Além de trazer um discurso de livramento, Selena faz pouco jus ao tema, cantando sobre algum tipo de amor passageiro e divertido, em Fun -que carrega uma produção deliciosa, mas uma letra fraca e genérica. O álbum possui ótimos pontos, como a faixa-título, Dance Again, que traz uma melodia Daft Punk, Vulnerable, onde mostra delicadeza em sua produção, melodia e letra, Fun e sua produção de guitarra no refrão, o R&B cauteloso em Cut You Off e as parcerias do álbum, Crowded Room com o rapper 6LACK e A Sweeter Place que conta com versos de Kid Cudi. Rare é a prova de um projeto que, nem de longe parece ter sido moldado por sua artista, que não fez parte da chapa de composição, de fato, e também não fez parte de sua produção. Mas embala um conjunto interessante de sons delicados.… Expand

    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.
