    Okay, let me be honest. I can say that the album wasn’t worth waiting 4 years for, BUT it’s still a nice pop-album with few bangers.

    My faves: A Sweeter Place, Cut You Off, LYTLM, Vulnerable, Let Me Get Me (it’s hard to pick a top three)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album shows the best Selena has to offer, a beautifully cohesive and vocal album, much more intimate than Revival, her latest work. Excited by what Selena will bring us in the coming years. Expand

    Rare is a very personal soft album. The songs have strong lyrics and delicate sonority at the same time. Very beautiful and relatable

    Very mature and enjoyable. This is Selena’s best album yet, in my opinion. Most songs sound consistent with the album, and the lyric writing is incredible. She is really making herself vulnerable with this one.

    Amazing job, so sweet and deep, melodramatic and dancing at the same time, loved it

    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.

    Esse álbum é incrível. Cheio de sentimentos e verdades. Selena voltou após 4 anos longe, e valeu muito ainda esperar, porque esse álbum vai muito além de simples músicas.

    “Beautiful... magical, lyrical”
    So many profound verses of spectacular lyrics and Selena’s beautiful, RARE voice mean that this album is one of the best. Her incredible, authentic heart shines through this album and it’s as amazing as she is.

    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.
