    This album just shows how beautifully Selena evolved not only as an artist, but as a person to.

    Definitely her best body of work she has ever released. Every song has a different sound which makes the album really versatile, but it still sounds cohesive as a whole. You can also see the artistic growth from her previous works. Mature, vulnerable, sophisticated and powerful would be the best words to describe it. 10/10

    This album is so fresh and unique, her vocals are flawless. Crowded Room might be the best track. And Rare her best work.

    This was well delievered. Amazing songs that back up her journey and what she has gone through. Each song is about someone new and kinda crazy is the best song in the album.

    Нарешті новий альбом від Селени Гомес. Чуттєвий як вона сама. Особливо новий сингл Rare

    Had high hopes for the album as people where hyping it up. Listened to it yesterday and i honestly hate it. Revival is better. Some songs sound like they were rushed or the production sounded off. Wont be listening again!!

    Rare is an amazing album and truth be told she might have topped her previous album Revival. Sure she kept us waiting 4 1/2 years but it was definitely worth the wait. She turned her trauma over the past 4 1/2 years into a beautiful album. Not many people can do that. My top 3 on the album would be People you know, Dance Again, and Vulnerable. Each song thelma a different story. 10/10 album

    Selena truly shines on this album. Her voice is soothing and conveys every emotion she has gone through in the past few years. Not only is she vulnerable and incredibly open about her feelings, she is also confident and content about being in a good place in life. The collabs are also amazing. All in all, this album has a message for everyone in its entirety.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to describe how she has changed the game, the rhythms in this album are really different from her last album REVIVAL. She took 2 years of production but it's incredible. Her voice sounds so mature and finally she shows her part of the story. This new album is honest, vulnerable, RARE.
    I'm so proud of my girl.

    I really thought she would finally live to her full potential but she hasn't. The entire album is very underwhelming.

    An album that shows Gomez’s growth through years. I have never heard an album that can sound so retro, yet be modern at the same time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album shows the best Selena has to offer, a beautifully cohesive and vocal album, much more intimate than Revival, her latest work. Excited by what Selena will bring us in the coming years. 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.
