    As exciting as Gomez’s album may be, it leaves little room for growth or experimental sound. The album perfectly reflects «Revival»’s themes and music, but doesn’t go beyond that.

    Selena Gomez proves once again that her "main pop girl" status is deserved and not only can she sing, write, and produce but Gomez is able to have more success even 10+ years into her career. Despite not being as powerful as her previous album, "Revival", Gomez adds that this album is her most personal work to date and I couldn't agree more.

Despite not being as powerful as her previous album, "Revival", Gomez adds that this album is her most personal work to date and I couldn't agree more. Prior to writing this review, I gave Revival and Rare a re-listen and I have come to a general consensus. Rare (Deluxe) has 0 songs I would skip, each piece of art is somewhat of a masterpiece in a way. "Lose You To Love Me" the lead single became Gomez's first ever number one song on the billboard hot 100, and was deservedly so! This song opens up on a past toxic relationship, one where she was emotionally, physically, and verbally abused. This song is serious & touching, but is able to also show aspects of her cheeky side with cunning lyrics such as "Sang off key in my chorus, cus' it wasn't yours" Or honest lyrics like "Rose color glasses all distorted" LYTLM has amassed nearly one billion streams on Spotify and is definitely the best song on this album. An underrated bop on this album is titled "Souvenir" and with lyrics like "Swimming in your eyes, in your eyes In your eyes, Egyptian blue Something I've never had without you" we catch a glimpse of how Selena felt within her life. Other songs like "Ring", "Fun", and "She" come off more silly rather than sophisticated, but this entire album compared to Revival is a lot more fun and less adult. I don't believe she sounds like how she did in her Disney days with the Scene, but compared to Revival she takes the back seat rather than driving further into adult hood. Despite being more dance and bubble gum pop, compared to revival's electro/r&b flair I do still believe this album is the best of 2020! I recommended to all who love Pop, and who understand the struggles of being used, or loving someone too much. As well as being in a place where you are not okay, and although you haven't admitted it to yourself you have the backbone you need to receive support and love, in which you absolutely deserve!… Expand

    Çok soft ve çok özel... Onun için aşırı kişisel anıları anlatan bu albüme 1000 filan verebilmek isterdim. Gerçekten ragatlatıcı ve son derece hoş hisler uyandırıyor insanda. Gerçekten her zaman inanılmaz derecede iyi olmayı başarıyor.

    Selena not only gave her heart but soul to this album.If any artist were to release this album,then they would release as revenge album but not selena all she did was her experience, sadness and growth from past couple of years.So i'm very very proud of her.This album and Selena deserves better.    … 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.
