    An amazing album! Has only one skip in my opinion but over all amazing! She really went off with rare and cut you off and made me feel something with vulnerable, dance again and lose you to love me!

    Such a great album, it shows how much she has grown and her vocals sound so good. Plus there are so many bops.

    Selana Gomez sempre vem mostrando o seu melhor em cada álbum que ela faz, e nesse não poderia ser diferente. Apesar de algumas falhas na escolha das músicas, ele não deixa de ser impecável e sempre mostrando qualidade e coerência.

    Good album, but some songs felt outdated, only a few songs I actually listen to off this record.

    O álbum mostra uma vulnerabilidade artística da qual gostamos de ver quando se trata de arte, letras impactantes e ao mesmo tempo suave que trazem uma reflexão pessoal. Muito bom pra ouvir e relaxar, é quase uma terapia.

    I'm pretty harsh when it comes to lyrics and when i came across "boyfriend" i was like ??? it had so much potential to be good lyrically. When it came out i didn't like any songs but the singles, that are just perfect, but i listened to it yesterday and i like it SO MUCH. Souvenir is the best track for sure, it deserves to be a single so bad, i can't believe i didn't like it.

    Some songs are catchy and good but they lack spice. That's the case with Kinda Crazy, Feel me and Vulnerable. Sweeter Place is just bad    … Expand

    Definitely not a bad album. Gomez shows a side of herself that is more genuine and vulnerable than her previous works, but many songs still feel like they are losing that emotion to try and get yet another hit song.

    This album made me feel like i was listening to a very long song. Almost every song sounds same. Also the fact that many song consist of garbage songs that other artist did not put on their albums is the proof that Selena Gomez has no effor.

    her voice singing live is very bad, an artist must participate in the composition of his album, that's what the song talks about... This is only green for little criticism.

    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.
