    A masterpiece! Her best album. She showed her brilliant voice on its best way. Underrated album! Every song is a bop. Deluxe edition magnificent, with one of her best songs “Souvenir”.

    Her best album, period. I personally think she finally found herself, especially when it comes to Rare. It is very obvious how much she improved and found what suits her voice the best.

    The lyrics are so deep and honest and she shows herself so Vulnerable! The sound in general is amazing. My favourite songs are Ring, Dance Again and Let Me Get Me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every last second of the 4+ year wait was worth it! This album is a beautiful piece of art and it’s one of my favorites ever. It has NO SKIPS, including the Deluxe version! Some of the highlights include Boyfriend, Lose You To Love Me, Rare, Souvenir, Look At Her Now, Crowded Room (feat. 6LACK), Vulnerable, A Sweeter Place (feat. Kid Cudi), and Feel Me. (Or maybe even just the whole damn track list, ALL 17 songs lol). It is Selena’s best body of work and her voice sounds angelic! You can tell she really took her time to make this album the best she possibly could and she shows a lot of artistic growth. The album feels very cohesive as a whole even though no 2 songs sound the same and she explores different genres throughout the album. The production, lyrics, and vocals are all AMAZING and make this album very special and RARE!! … Expand

    One of the best albums released this year. Very underrated and overlooked album by the gp, which is unfortunate because of how good it is. Had Selena and her team paid a little more attention to promoting it could be a lot bigger than it already is.

    Best Album ever i heard. Love the Album very much. Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.She did it with grace and Power.Be brave to stand for what you believe in even if you stand alone.The ultimate measure of a man is not where he challenge and controversy.

    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.
