    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Achei monótono, chato, entediante e as músicas são muito parecidas e repetitivas. Não houve nenhuma evolução vocal da Selena, mas as letras pelo menos salvam. Look at her now, lytlm e rare únicos singles possíveis.… Expand

    Álbum of the year. Ha superado totalmente las expectativas, me parece una obra de arte hecha música. Me encanta la manera en que ha evolucionado, tanto en la musica, como lo vocal. Impresionante.

    WOW !!! There’s not enough words I can put together to explain how good this album is. Selena has been through so much over the years and which each track you can tell how much she’s grown, she’s in such a better place now. I truly believe there’s at least one song for everyone on this album, regardless of what your music taste is. Personally I love every single song, no skips for me.WOW !!!

Vulnerable, People You Know, Dance Again, Let Me Get Me are stop favorites for sure. The whole album is very versatile, so impressed. Love it! Would 100/10 recommend to everyone, give it a listen you’ll be surprised!… Expand

    4 years and this album sounds exactly like her last work, it's a cute album but pretty basic and forgetable.

    Гомез выпустила хороший поп альбом, но его основная проблема в том, что многие песни звучат абсолютно идентично, серо. Возможно, со второго-третьего прослушивания что то и изменится, однако такая проблема наблюдалась и в ее предыдущем студийнике. По итогу много сильных песен, как и филлеров, но альбом получился чуточку слабее его предшественника.Гомез выпустила хороший поп альбом, но его основная проблема в том, что многие песни звучат абсолютно идентично, серо.

    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.
