    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece.The songs have an inspiring message. Selena opens her heart and tells us her story. It's a totally different album than what we always hear, I mean those albums with basic lyrics and recycled sounds. I LOVE IT… Expand

    I'm so proud of Selena and this album.
    This is my favorite album she has ever put out, you can tell this one comes from her heart. I know some people might not like it because it's experimental but i personnally love it !
    Each song is different from the others but the album in itself feels very cohesive. The lyrical content is also interesting and you can tell she wrote on every song.    I'm so proud of Selena and this album.

    Un disco donde conocemos un poco más de Selena, donde nos mostró como se sentía en esos años. Merece la pena escuchar cada canción.

    This is the most personal album Selena has ever made, as I see the songs talk with the listener and you can feel deep in your soul what Selena was going through when she wrote those songs.

    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.
