    I’m so underwhelmed, waited four years just for her to release this generic garbage. i’m seriously unstanning and becoming a full time Taylor stan.

    Rare is generic and all of the tracks seem to have the same sound. I wish to hear better and meaningful songs that balance sadness,power, and happiness

    Her best work yet. So good. Empowering and deep. I was not expecting to like it but honestly it is a bop.

    I was expecting something like Revival in terms of quality and bops but I instead got a lethal injection

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best pop album to come out in a long time. Gomez has come a long way when it comes to self expression and self confidence. Give her the credit she deserves. A lot of artists aren’t as authentic as she is. You can tell she spent a lot of time writing for this album and it is her most authentic work to date.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, let’s start. let's be honest, Selena never had great talents, she doesn’t sing, dance or write lyrics, but she pleased us with groovy melodies (which of course weren’t written by her, but still), and these melodies became radio hits (no wonder lol they this was always calculated). ‘Revival’ was not a work of art or a super-high-quality product, it was ordinary, but varied and vibrant. Even if there was no logical sense in building a set list, in clips, in the era itself or in the image of Selena during the era .. we will forget all this by forgiving and accepting :) And now came out 'Rare' and this... very bad, I'm seriously oooooooooooooooooo bad. the album is raw, empty and absolutely none. such music will come down for background listening in cafes on weekends, somewhere there on the radio, for a greater feeling that it does not pretend. it blows Selena up so much that he is literally filled with her dullness as an artist, her mediocrity. and that’s it. he is somewhat similar to the recently released ‘Lover’, but he doesn’t have any lyrics that Miss Swift wrote alone, and Gomez wrote all this with co-authors. in general, the album is so flat and even (not in a good way) that I want to cry because she lost such a chance to abruptly return to the industry and break her competitors. but she chose the path easier - again 0 concepts and stylistics, 0 creativity, everything is factory and static, 0 vocals (… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gómez ha hecho un gran trabajo con Rare. Este álbum podría decirse que es el mejor que nos ha dado Selena después de Revival, una época donde ella busca la aceptación y se sentía apagada. Con Rare no solo sabes que estás dando un cierre. Estas iniciando una nueva etapa. Las letras se compaginan con los sonidos y el ritmo hace que podamos viajar en nuestros pensamientos.… Expand

    In this album you can hear Selena’s growth in life, relationships and state of mind. The whole album flows together yet each song has its own distinct sound.

    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.
