    Este álbum tiene de todo lo necesario para encontrarse a si mismo, canciones de superación personal y baladas muy artísticas también me encanta que selena refleje lo que paso a través de su enfermedad y todos los problemas que a enfrentado

    „Rare“ has the best music Selena Gomez has ever done. She truly went from „Revival“ to something completely different but still remains authentic in everything she does. Selena outsold herself with „Rare“ , her vocals,the rhythm, the vibe, the way she completed the album from saddest to the funniest ones, that’s a truly blessing.

    Best way to start off the decade and year with a well-produced and a lyrically and sonically cohesive pop album. Gomez releases her best album to date.

    I personally really enjoy the production and the feel each song has. Selena successfully delivered a cohesive body of work that flows which hasn’t been present in her past projects. I also really like the fact you can tell each song was tailored to her unique tone. I will definitely be streaming.

    'Rare' is literally Selena Gomez's "Magnum Opus". The production & lyrical value in this album gives me a more mature rhythmic feel to her music after listening to each of the 13 tracks. This is literally better than ariana grande's entire discography when it comes to lyricism, maturity, depth, emotion, and growth.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Selena Gomez came and serve original and never done before pop music. The entire music industry should learn from her. She could care less about charts, but i refuse to let certain fans of JB and AG sabotage her amazing work by writing bad reviews. Admit it, everyone is threatened by Selena and her power. Go cry about it and stream Rare.… 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.
