    This album shows her growth really good. She got really personal and emotional with this album. Her raw vocals and emotions together are a combination not every album can pull off. Standing Ovation for Gomez. i hope The Recording Academy recognizes this pop album and gives her the nominations Lose You To Love me and Rare deserves to get.

    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.
