    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O álbum mais coeso e bem produzido da carreira da Selena, não tiraria nada desse álbum, extremamente pessoal e finalmente reconhecemos a identidade musical da Selena, que por muitos anos e trabalhos ficou escondida em músicas pop/dance que já chegavam em sua fórmula pronta esperando apenas a voz de Selena. Superou todas as expectativas e valeu a espera de quase 5 anos, parabéns Selena.… Expand

    Is the album amazing and honestly? This album is better than Revival.
    Selena has done a lot of things in her career and we should now acclaim her for this wonderful album.

    Best album she’s ever done! The whole thing is on repeat in our house. Every single song is beautifully written. I can’t stand when people say she can’t sing. You don’t have to scream your ass off to be considered a singer. She has a beautiful and soothing voice. I prefer her over anyone else!! ♥️♥️

    Her best work! This album is too honest, and magical. If you are looking for something that can make you feel in peace with your life you should listen to this. It took a long time for her to release it and it's one of the best things that I have ever heard.

    the lyrics and the sounds are very well fitted, the concept seems fresh to me, it is also seen that it's a much more personal work.

    No words can describe how perfect this album is.
    Oh actually some words can, the lyrics can do that.
    Honestly, I have never seen such a great job in the music history.
    You Rock Selena, wait, YOU POP SELENA! ❤

    The album is wonderful. The lyrics are deep and touch the soul of the listener, even seems to Selena talking with their thoughts. The tempo is different from most of today's music, which I think is great. It is an evolutionary and perfect sound.

    Confesso que de primeira não gostei da sonoridade de algumas músicas, mas na segunda escutada apreciei com mais atenção e não achei uma música ruim, até as mais fracas ainda são boas (pode entrar Ring e Fun). As letras são ótimas e a produção do álbum é impecável. Selena não mentiu quando disse que era o melhor trabalho dela, essa mulher é rara mesmo

    Her best album. She explored different sounds and killed it. I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to top Revival but she did it! I’m so proud of her!

    This album is exquisite, fresh, art and wonderful, selena without a doubt never disappoints, it has the gift of making you feel through her songs, her lyrics ... from a heartbreaking ballad like Lose you to love me to an electronic pop like dance again. Without a doubt it is the best album so far this year.

    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.
