    This album is a great comeback for Selena, the lyrics are pretty good and all the songs are different.

    every song is such a masterpiece, carefully produced. Sounds are soft and they fuse with Selena's voice.

    Refreshed pop, server rnb, alternative, jazz, dance, and POP. She perfected each genre while being cohesive track by track.

    She truly outdid herself. A masterpiece. Every song is amazing and has meaning to Selena who has written or co written the songs. It's beautiful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Não é o álbum da carreira da Selena, mas ainda sim é bom, consigo imaginar clipes para várias músicas. Entretanto, algumas são bem fracas e parecem se perder no meio do caminho.… Expand

    Exuding confidence and growth, Rare distinguishes itself from other pop albums by focusing on mental health and growth over sex and dalliances. Miss Gomez is in top form, making one of the best pop records in recent time

    Selena seguiu a fórmula do tão Bem Sucedido Revival, com músicas calmas e letras maravilhosas, batidas calmas e de um Soft Pop que botaria inveja em qualquer cantor que tente fazer algo intimista e calmo, Acho que esse molde Maravilhoser dela precisa continuar. Toda e qualquer semelhança com Bar Liar e Fetish, são mera coincidência, o álbum soa mais original que os singles que ficaram deSelena seguiu a fórmula do tão Bem Sucedido Revival, com músicas calmas e letras maravilhosas, batidas calmas e de um Soft Pop que botaria inveja em qualquer cantor que tente fazer algo intimista e calmo, Acho que esse molde Maravilhoser dela precisa continuar. Toda e qualquer semelhança com Bar Liar e Fetish, são mera coincidência, o álbum soa mais original que os singles que ficaram de fora. Não vá esperando Pops dançantes que vai tocar na balada alá "A Year Without Rain" ou "Me And The Rhytm" o de mais próximo a um dos dois citados é "Look At Her Now" que soa como a final liberdade para a "Disney Baby" que Selena foi e talvez seja sobre a recuperação dela após o término com Abel (The Weeknd). Acho que o álbum precisa ser apreciado por pessoas que tem mente e ouvidos abertos a um mundo novo. Dou destaque a "Vulnerable" "Ring" e "Kinda Crazy" acho que você precisa achar a sua própria ordem natural de ouvir o álbum, a distribuição de faixas também não foi o forte da produção, o Início poderia muito bem ser um Prelúdio aos moldes de Revival já que se encaixaria de maneira perfeita no álbum. Mas enfim a bicha deu tudo que conseguiu e entrega essa jóia rara de um pop lapidado e forjado nas melhores mãos e com letras fofas e que lembram muito os álbuns de Nelly Furtado durante os anos 2000 (Coisas que eu amo de paixão).… Expand

    We waited 4 years for Selena to give us and show us growth and versatility in her album. Unfortunately, she did not come to serve what we expected. The tracks are cute, but the standards are set high for artists who have been in the industry for quite some time but cannot experiment but just give us a recycled tracks that sound similar to Bad Liar.

    ¡Obra maestra!
    Selena se renueva de nueva en esta nueva era, tiene ritmos frescos y nuevos, cada tema es una historia diferente. Con cada canción puedes identificarte y ese es el punto del albúm, amarte a ti mismo y saber lo que vales, empoderarte y no dejar que nadie te pizotee.
    De los mejores albumes junto con Revival.

    A COHESIVE ALBUM full of vulnerable and honest tracks. Selena Gomez shows us her new side of life, how she is Right Now. She experimented with new sounds and it worked for her voice. The Production of this album is beyond beautiful.
    This Album is all about getting in track of yourself. Self-love an self-acceptance

    El álbum es realmente bueno, un sonido fresco que te atrapa y alegre.

    El mensaje que transmite es bueno, ya que es sobre amor propio y superación, un álbum que no puedes dejar de oír.

    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.
