    Selena changed the pop game with this album, it’s experimental pop that never leaves your head. The content and lyricism are delightful and beautiful. The melody’s themselves are little ear worms that you don’t mind getting stuck in your head. they’re just catchy enough to wanna listen over and over again. Her visuals have been stunning for this record and the storytelling of each song,Selena changed the pop game with this album, it’s experimental pop that never leaves your head.

You can feel what she felt or is feeling and that’s what makes this record her best so far.… Expand

    the power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has

    Full of whispering. Lack of real singing talent. Only one good song, the rest are skips. I expected more but all she does is Rare. 0 versatility.

    This album is the definition of “Pop Perfection” each song has a different story and it’s very hard to do that with the genre “pop” but Selena Gomez successfully achieved that with this album. She has an amazing way of emotionally getting attached to the song and making other people relate to it. Album of the decade.

    This new album feels more like her than the previous ones. It’s authentic and special. I love most of the songs production and lyrics. You go through many emotions. Definitely her best album. Congrats Selena.

    I like how the album flows so well from song to song. A step up from Revival, Selena Gomez has outdone herself. The use of guitar, catchy beats, and breathy singing are a great combination for anyone looking to ease their way into the new year.

    muito doce e agradável, mas algumas faixas soaram repetitivas e cansativas, mas vale a experiência

    This album blended together. there was no display of any talent whatsoever (except for some okay songwriting) and nothing from the album was memorable except for the 6LACK feature.

    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.
