    Interesting album, it's a very good 'self-love' that everyone need to hear, we can hear Selena picking herself up and carrying on

    It’s the best work she has done so far. Her artistic expression is unreal. We are really excited for her new chapter.

    Excellent Album! I LOVE IT
    Without a doubt the great growth of Selena is seen, RARE is her best album with Revival.
    I love Selena's rhythms, lyrics, production and voice.

    Magical and cohesive! So refreshing! There is something very special about this album, and I would argue that it really stands out in the soft pop genre.

    It is an album with danceable and calm melodies. Rare is a mixture of guitars, bass and sounds maybe from the 80's and 90's. The album has good lyrics and melodies, which is a good experience. Personally, it is an album with good potential.

    The best album of all time! I’m in peace listening to it ❤️ Selena Gomez made real ART in this album. By far is my favorite album! There’s no song I can say “nah..I didn’t like this one..” ALL the songs are great! I’m listening all day long.

    After four years of writing and dealing with her own personal struggles, Selena Gomez released an artistic masterpiece of work. Moving away from generic pop sounding songs we hear on the radio, Selena works with different styles of music, discovering herself more as an artist, which all fits together in the end. This album was worth the wait.

    Depois de 4 anos de espera, finalmente esse álbum saiu e posso dizer que é maravilhoso, e com musicas deliciosas, dançantes e intensas.
    A selena merece o mundo e todo sucesso também.

    love it everyone single part of it, selena gomez really just said **** you all and did her own thing which sounded different than her last album.

    the lyrics were so meaningful and simple like that and in her song vulnerable and a sweeter place she surprises you with where the track is going. it’s amazing people should probably give it a listen. wait and if there’s anything i would change    love it everyone single part of it, selena gomez really just said **** you all and did her own thing which sounded different than her last album.

    There is not a single bad song on this album. The title track and Dance Again are big stand outs and probably some of her career. It’d be foolish if she doesn’t release them as singles. Other notable stand outs are Vulnerable, which gives Taylor Swift Delicate vibes. The two features on the album, Crowded Room with 6lack and A Sweeter Place with Kid Cudi are also incredible songs.

A song that caught me off guard was definitely Ring. I was not expecting such a short song so be that good. Selena has really shown true artistic growth with thus album. It is definitely her best work to date which says a lot because her previous release, Revival, was also a solid pop record. This already looks like it’s going to be her most successful record to date with her getting her first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 with the incredible Lose You To Love Me and it is completely well deserved.… 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.
