    After waiting nearly 5 years, I couldn’t be happier with this album. The lyrics are awesome and the musical style really suits her voice.

    Her most impressive feat yet. The work is cohesive, and bodes perfectly with the niche she’s cut out for herself. No bad song at all.

    This album is wonderfully fresh, unique, triumphant and cohesive. She's grown so much as a human and artist and it bleeds through this album. She's extremely raw and consistent this 'Rare'. Highlights on the album are 'Dance Again' 'Vulnerable' 'Let Me Get Me' ' Crowded Room' and 'A Sweeter Place'

    Is have a very Autotune and it is bad. Many people did not like this and it is the reason why I do not like it, it is boring and a thousand times I stay with Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande that is a real album

    The second album brings great evolution and maturation by Selena, we see important questions about self-esteem and self-love. And each second is extremely compelling. It's a beautiful job.

    When someone succeeds there’s going to be some people hating of jealousy (it’s ridiculous)

    What a great way to start the 20's! After 4 years in the making of Selena Gomez's long awaited third studio album, it's safe to say the waiting and big anticipation has been generously rewarded. In a time where the music market is filled up with generic trap and r&b songs, getting to listen to "RARE" is like a new fresh breath of air that gives you a taste of euphoria and bliss. It'sWhat a great way to start the 20's! After 4 years in the making of Selena Gomez's long awaited third studio album, it's safe to say the waiting and big anticipation has been generously rewarded. In a time where the music market is filled up with generic trap and r&b songs, getting to listen to "RARE" is like a new fresh breath of air that gives you a taste of euphoria and bliss. It's doesn't require a master's degree to see how the pop star's sound has evolved in a miraculously the best way possible though it's not also quite surprising after Gomez tasted the waters back in 2017 with "Bad Liar" & "Fetish" when they became two of her most critically acclaimed songs from her discography as "Bad Liar" became the number 1 song of the that year according to Billboard critics. All of the songs fit perfectly into the album's concept and theme both lyrically and sonically and it's obvious that Gomez has found her sound in music, a sound that not everyone is willing and able to pull up. Throughout the tracks the singer makes it very clear there's no place in her life for anything but confidence, self-acceptance and strength as she also embraces her own vulnerability and weaknesses. With the release of "RARE", Gomez raises the bar quite high and it may be hard for other artists to reach it any time soon as more and more established pop artists lean towards the "new wave" sound. With all said, it's more than clear that "RARE" is truly her best body of work (so far!) and we are only yet to see and witness the pop princess's next music triumphs.… 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.
