    Finally an album after 4 years and each day was worth the wait. The album stands out in terms of vocals, production and how much selena has improved in these years after all she has been through. The lyrics fit perfectly into the beats. If you are looking for something new with an essence of pop this is the album for you.The album comprises a total of 0 skips and 13 bops.

    The best album by any ex-act. This album showcases how nobody is like Selena, she is in fact rare and one of a kind. 10/10

    Un álbum demasiado bueno, lleno de letras muy profundas y maduras, un ejemplo de superación y amor propio, sin dejar atrás la gran producción, es una joya, lo mejor de su carrera!

    Rare is a very unique album, Selena explores new sounds and get deeps with her lyrics. This is a Grammy worthy album.

    I just feel like she won’t be able to sing most of the songs live It will probably be an terrible live performance just like she did at the AMA’a

    This album really shows how far she has come. When I first listened I was worried that I wouldn’t enjoy this album, because it explored so many different sounds. The more I have listened to it the more I love it. The lyrics are great, the production is amazing and overall it’s a great album to start off the new decade.

    I think she exceed expectations of all. Definitely after her team and Selena worked so hard on this project and all the time we expected has been repaid. I think they worked so well and this album is going to be at the top of all the chart and surely it deserves all the success. Anyway, worst track is “Look at her now” and the best tracks are “Rare”, “People you Know” and “SwPlace”. I hopeI think she exceed expectations of all.

    In the nearly five years since the release of her last album Selena Gomez has come so far musically and emotionally. In her old music I could always picture someone else doing it,some had EDM vibes some had Rihanna vibes...it was never completely Selena. However ”Rare” is fully her. I can’t see anyone but her do this. Rare has absolutely no skips and every song could be a single.

Gomez impressively has a writing credit in all of her tracks in this album which is no small feat these days. She has composed a catchy yet personal sound. Congratulations Selena!… 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.
