    Album of the YEAR
    Selena Gomez really took her time with her music and now you know why. There are so many different songs and they have all hidden meanings. The melodies are so good and versatile and then the lyrics hit you. You need to listen a few times to get it and every time you play you can feel what she has felt. It’s emotional, funny, sexy and it makes you want to dance.    … Expand

Es un álbum que muestra todo el crecimiento personal de Selena, las letras son maduras, las canciones tienen ritmos muy nuevos, son divertidos cuando tienen que serlo, su voz de Selena igual tiene y va acorde de todo lo que canta, es asombroso todo el álbum.… Expand

    This album was pretty mediocre. As I would expect from an “artist” who cannot even sing. People are saying the album is cohesive but it really isn’t, most songs just sound exactly the same. I’m a bit surprised that it took her four years to release this because it honestly sounds like it took her a week.

    100/10. Cada canción es hermosa, con sonidos únicos y bailables. Letras que se destacan en canciones como "cut you off", "a sweeter place", "vulnerable". Es un disco que se puede escuchar entero y no aburrirse.

    All the songs are so different, yet so good and super enjoyable. The message all of these songs convey are amazing and empowering. This album is a confidence booster and is super raw and personal. An amazing piece of work. No lies, definitely one of the best album I heard from this artist, and also best album I’ve heard in many years.

    Selena Gomez released an honest and a heartfelt record that feels honest and raw. Tracks like Dance Again and Vulnerable are bangers, feeling like they would be perfect for radioplay. On the other hand, there are songs like Ring, Crowded Room or Fun, which really did not stand out to me and felt like filler tracks within this album. Addiotionally I would have preferred if Selena did notSelena Gomez released an honest and a heartfelt record that feels honest and raw.

    Es un álbum demasiado bueno, sin duda el mejor de toda su carrera. Las líricas son excelentes y se nota que los casi 5 años de descanso le sirvieron para mejorar su técnica vocal y perfeccionar los sonidos del álbum.

    “Rare’s stylish assortment of songs is refreshing – a commanding, understated flex that suggests Gomez’s lengthy toil in the studio paid off. Maybe there’s a correlation: Selena Gomez albums don’t come along all that often, and neither do pop albums this fully realized and self-assured.”

    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.
