    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really great album! The only perfect follow-up and evolution from her previous body of work , Revival. She utilizes her voice and has a variety of songs that stand out on their own yet create a cohesive body of work. There are very few skips on this album in my opinion, only two to be exact - Ring and Let Me Get Me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album will be the best thing you are going to hear in 2020, trust me. It really resembles the hardships that Selena has endured during the last four years in which we haven't heard from her. This album is personal, beautiful and, above all, is rare.… Expand

    [10/1 12:12 AM] Hugotica: *DANCE AGAIN:* A segunda música do álbum, 'Dance Again', é literalmente uma completa balada, a letra, batida e a voz da cantora está ótima, essa música, com certeza, nos trás uma nostalgia do pop de antigamente, coisa que não devia ter morrido, ótima escolha da Selena colocá-la no álbum

    *Minha nota é: 10/10*
    [10/1 12:15 AM] Hugotica: *Look at her now:* Essa música é um ato de amor próprio, uma mulher dizendo que não precisa de um homem e que está muito melhor sem ele é tudo o que precisamos, nessa música, que foi single promocional, a Selena finalmente mostrou o quanto está bem e se amor apesar de qualquer coisa, um tiro de amor próprio em todo mundo.

    *Minha nota é: 10/10*
    [10/1 12:18 AM] Hugotica: *Lose you to love me:* Em LYTLM todo mundo esperava uma porrada de indireta e shade para o Bieber, mas logo ela mostrou, com letra profunda, que superou e que largou tudo o que lhe faria mal no passado, finalmente ela tacou uma última pá de terra nesse relacionamento e tudo o que ele representa! uma perfeita balada.

    Absolutely amazing! Probably one of the best pop albums I have ever heard. A mixture of upbeat with heartbreak, healing and self-love.

    His voice is the best in the world, he knows how to take advantage even if he doesn't have a good enough vocal range

    This is Selena’s best body of work to date. You can hear the cohesiveness and growth in every track. Selena has solidified her spot as the princess of pop after this release.

    You can see the growth from revival to rare. Catchy rhythms and beautiful lyrics about self love and living the life Selena Gomez proving that she’s becoming a more mature singer

    This album has zero skips. Not a single bad song. Assured that there is at least one song on here that you will like, scientifically proven. Selena has come to save the pop industry, with full force and full grace.

    You need to back off, Selena, don't sing, stop grieving.

    The arrangements are good BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE VOICE

    Rare is the result of a person who has come to a process of self-improvement and self-love. Everyone who has ever felt defeated must listen to RARE

    This album is extremely refreshing and I love it’s overall sound as it’s very new and authentic.. however some lacklustre songs (Ring for example) let it down in my opinion.

    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.
