    É o seu trabalho mais maduro, com um conceito certo e coeso, com as produções das músicas de ótima qualidade e letras profundas. Um álbum muito bom, sem dúvidas um dos melhores nesses últimos anos.

    A totally new but fitting sounds for Selena! She explores different styles throughout 13 songs and it doesn’t disappoint. Perfect music to blast in the car, listen to at a concert, or just while you’re cleaning. 10/10

    Rare is such a unique piece of art. The whole album sounds like something that’s never been here before; Selena doesn’t follow trends, she makes them, and by doing so she creates nothing but pure pop excellence. From the production to the songwriting, vocals and well-picked features; everything harmonizes perfectly. Its not easy stripping down emotionally and opening up about the thingsRare is such a unique piece of art. The whole album sounds like something that’s never been here before; Selena doesn’t follow trends, she makes them, and by doing so she creates nothing but pure pop excellence. From the production to the songwriting, vocals and well-picked features; everything harmonizes perfectly. Its not easy stripping down emotionally and opening up about the things breaking us down, but Selena does it so gracefully - lyrics like “holding hands with the darkness and knowing my heart is allowed” are the proof for that. With “Rare”, Selena creates a lyrically, sonically and vocally master piece that’s refreshing and different - she shows once again she’s not afraid of taking risks. She’s literally in her own league now, distancing herself from other artists releasing generic music just for clout and charts.… Expand

    It feels like Selena Gomez grew up. Not caring about charts, opening up about depression, anxiety and the truest form of ended love and its bad chapters. Mature sounds!

    Selena Gomez is a pop powerhouse and this album proves it. This beautifully crafted album is her best album and shows how much she has grown, musically and mentally.

    O álbum tem simplicidade e verdade. E o principal de tudo, o amor próprio, tornando todas as musicas intimistas, somos capaz de sentir todos os sentimentos da Selena.

    The most cohesive pop album I’ve heard in a long time. Not a fan of Selena but I really was blown away by the greatness of this new body of work. Very well thought out and put together. I respect her for that.

    O álbum está perfeito, mostrou um lado ainda mais maduro da Selena. Um lado de libertação. Ela é uma mulher incrível, acertou na mensagem passada.

    Selma Gomez lançou seu novo "álbum" digo "álbum" pois nada mais é que uma playlists de singles mal feito. Os pobres fãs vão ter que forçar credibilidade artística nesse álbum pq não tem nenhuma. Enquanto Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Halsey e muito mais do pop conseguem entregar álbuns bons e coesos, Selma segue em sua linha de conforto se consolidando no máximo como uma Zara Larsson:Selma Gomez lançou seu novo "álbum" digo "álbum" pois nada mais é que uma playlists de singles mal feito. Os pobres fãs vão ter que forçar credibilidade artística nesse álbum pq não tem nenhuma. Enquanto Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Halsey e muito mais do pop conseguem entregar álbuns bons e coesos, Selma segue em sua linha de conforto se consolidando no máximo como uma Zara Larsson: subcelebridade com pouco alcance vocal que lança singles sem identidade para tentar alguma posição nos charts. Os fãs? Vão amar qualquer arroto com batida de asmr pois são aficionados por números. O lado bom? O Estados Unidos agora tem armamento nuclear novo, estudos apontam que 5 minutos ouvindo esse álbum o ser humano é capaz de desenvolver diversas doenças como: alienação mental, esclerose múltipla, hepatopatia grave, neoplasia maligna, cegueira, paralisia irreversível e incapacitante.… 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.
