    ‘Rare’ is an album with beautiful rhythms and lyrics worthy of the greatest award in music, Gomez shows a more mature and real face, sure of herself and her music. The best album of her career.

    This album is FULL OF BOPS!!! Each song is perfect on its own... but they all work perfectly together too. Selena, this is your best album yet and I’m so excited to see what this new era has in store for you!!!

    Her best album indeed, she really killed it! A Sweeter Place is a bop, and Rare is so good. Those four years we had to wait definitely worth it.

    Wow look at her now guys, when i went to listen to the album i gave nothing, but when i listened, I heard how cohesive and mature it was, very coherent lyrics, magnificent productions, and a different style of Selena Gomez, not having to appeal to the style that is in high, Gomez did what she wanted, getting his messages through the songs, and yes "Rare" is the best album of an ex act!

    O álbum é um eletro pop misturado com letras um pouco sombrias, exatamente como eu gosto!

    undoubtedly one of the best albums I heard, his voice so delicate but his lyrics deepen you so much, it is an album for one to be well and I certainly achieve it! Selena Gomez never disappoints

    By far her best work yet, for the first time she sounds really in control, like she's telling her own experiences. The production is phenomenal and though at times repetitive it still works. There is also a lot of variety, like Cut You Off, A Sweeter Place and People You Know are all such good tracks but they all have different elements. It's just overall a really good album, can't wait toBy far her best work yet, for the first time she sounds really in control, like she's telling her own experiences.

    Melhor álbum da Selena, nele ela de maneira coesa expõe seus sentimentos e conta sobre sua vida ao longo desses 4 anos, um pop com influências r&b, latina e alternativa, muito maduro

    Tô muito orgulhoso da Selena, primeira vez que ela fala abertamente sobre acontecimentos pessoais e reais, momentos marcantes de sua vida, com certeza um álbum autobiográfico. Uma pena ver gente criando conta aqui para apenas abaixar a nota dela. Mas o bem sempre vence e a Selena sempre brilha. Rare é um grito de vitória.

    It is an album that has a beautiful lyrics and keeps the rhythm and the medolia in harmony in its songs, an album that offers very personal feelings of Selena Gomez and is very well produced in every sound rhythm.
    I love the album, congratulations Selena Gomez

    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.
