    This album sounds like a perfect set of lyrics, instrumentals, chorus, consistency and cohesion. Simply perfect like a masterpiece.

    O álbum é horrível, ela devia desistir da carreira de cantora já q essa fracassada não têm talento nenhum.

    Beautiful, it's art, it's some of the best albums that have come out, it was worth waiting four years for Selena's return, I loved all the songs.
    It is wonderful

    This album is a pure dumpster fire. Boring, repetitive and bland tracks have been the norm from Selena and yet again we see this on RARE. She can't seem to evolve her music and move forward from her Disney era, in some cases it feels like a step back from her other albums and I cannot understand how it took just over 4 years to make this album.

    The album is very good. Talk about loving yourself no matter what happens, but it does not appeal to me, that is, the rhythm, voice does not call me to download the music. Also congratulations Selena.

    Just perfect in every detail, one of the best pop albums in the last years with a lot of emotion, vulnerability and truth.

    Rare is full of filler, after four years from her enjoyable album “Revival”, Gomez delivers nothing new, many artists have digged into these sounds before, even better, even herself, the Buzz-singles she dropped during the past two years were way more great than what Rare offers. Rare is lack of emancipation, there is no proof here that show us she can really write songs or sing as well.

    Her best work period. The way her vocals and her style has evolved from her previous solo albums and the way the lyrics are so vital to each song. Literally no skips on this album for me personally. So so proud of how good it is and I’m not a person to normally like features but man each one was better than the other. In love. STREAM RAREEEE

    A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM. It’s full of creativity, and it’s fresh. It’s new, never heard before. I love it. Your mother, your sister, your father, your grandparents will love it! It’s funky, funny, but yet shady. I love it!

    The only good song is LYTLM as a balad, the rest of the songs are the same rhythm and the voice weak and without force, the breathing voice is boring so that makes the album gets a monotony beat. Revival still being the best album by Selena.

    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.
