    Lose You To Love Me is the only ballad in the album, the only sonically vulnerable moment in a fully confident album. From the moment Rare hits it given that she's over lytlm story so it hits like a highlight

    Es de los mejores álbumes de Selena, su voz a cambiado un poco y cada vez es mejor.
    La combinación de sonidos es preciosa y la letra es demasido profunda, este álbum es muy lindo.

    The album went way above my expectations. Each track feeling fresh even the already heard songs like “Lose You to Love Me” and “Look At Her Now”. I enjoyed all songs because they touched in different areas of music but in the end, all perfectly synced together. I felt some groovy and disco touches on some tracks that gave me feels of Donna Summer and A Taste of Honey. In other tracks, theThe album went way above my expectations.

Selena really did incredible with this album and I absolutely loved how versatile she was over these 13 tracks! From R&B, to Bollywood to Disco, Rare was truly one of the albums I’m going to listen to repeatedly. Gomez really went above and beyond on this one and made me extremely excited for what’s to come next.… Expand

    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.
