    The best comeback. Her songs are so special and touch you the way any other music cannot. She is real. Her music is real. I’m very proud. Each song is unique and that’s what I love. Also the lyrics with the sounds? PERFECT.

    RARE is Selena’s most lyrically and sonically beautiful album to date. With most artist you would love to see them progress in their music and Selena is no stranger to that. No album of hers is the same but RARE stands out !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. she's giving us art, just think Selena's new album can change the perspective of her with the people isn't her audience, it's amazing. dance again is the incredible style to say "I'm here and I'ma gonna be iconic, congratulations Selena, you're the queen!

    An amazing and cohesive album. Selena is comfortable in her vocal range and the lyrics are ripe. Clearly we can see how personal this album is and how Selena has been able to evolve in recent years.

    Brilliantly written and produced, it sounds like a journey of transformation and acceptance where each episode has its own distinctive sound. Other than Lose You To Love Me, the songs are mid- to upbeat, they’re fun, they’re catchy, and even if one or two won’t convince you at first listen, the hooks will stay in your mind and will grow on you. All killers, no fillers.

    Her most cohesive and best body of work ever. Loved every single track. And to every JB fan trying to mess these scores up, screw you all. You disgusting, despicable, horrible people. Lower than filth and most definitely dust beneath our feet.

    Rare is Gomez' best work to date. With its honest and vulnerable lyrics, the album is being carried by flowing RnB sounds. It's a very cohesive album and her voice is soothing. One of the best albums i've heard.

    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.
