    Best album by Selena Gomez. Very empowering, good music. 10/10. Love each and every song in the album. Every song is different from each other.

    Her most mature and centered album to date, but it lacks the fun of some of her past releases. Otherwise it's a great listen if you want some chill, uplifting pop.

    Selena compartilhou com a gente tudo que ela viveu nesses 4 anos com ritmos que fazem você embarcar nessa jornada de amor próprio, confiança e superação com ela. Uma obra de arte.

    "Vulnerable" it is simply THE music.

    Selena gives us a complete album, cohesive and perfect pop. Rare really is rare! This album puts the expectations of the next in the highest.

    This album didn't surpass my expectations, but it didn't exactly go below them either. Rare is a pretty solid comeback for Selena and I think it is a pretty good album that I will probably consider listening to again. However, it is also sometimes a bit bland and might not really stand out in general, but it stands out in her discography nonetheless.

    Selena Gomez marks a triumphant return with “Rare”. Her vocals are breathy and delicate, a perfect compliment to the unique rhythmic beats and synths of “Rare”. Stand outs include opener, “Rare” a pop perfection self love anthem, “Lose You to Love Me”, a tender ballad about leaving a toxic relationship, and the albums dreamy and emotional, “Sweeter Place” featuring Kid Cudi.

    Selena Gomez has a great taste on music! Vulnerable and Rare are my most favourite songs among the whole album.

    Este álbum, es uno de los mejores de los últimos tiempos, cada canción representa una parte del corazón de Selena Gómez. Sin duda alguna esto marca el inicio de una nueva era para la cantante, la cual seguramente estará llena de logros y sobretodo de felicidad. Y con orgullo digo; I'm so Rare

    Just a complete amazing body if work. They sound fresh. Something you haven't heard before. Her vocals have improved a hell lot and the production in this album is just next level. Vulnerable is my fave for now. It keeps changing. This album you just can't choose one to be your favorite, it'll be unfair to the others.

    I thought nothing could compare to Revival but I was so wrong. This album is very much of a improvement in production and vocals. Proud of Selena, best album for sure.

    La espera valió la pena, sin duda. Es increíble escuchar la madurez de la voz de Selena en un álbum tan interesante como lo es Rare y la naturalidad en que puede mezclar la atmósfera relajante y bailable al mismo tiempo.
    Indiscutiblemente, el mejor trabajo discrográfico de Gómez.

    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.
