    I am obsessed with this album!! I feel like Selena always has such raw emotion in her voice as she sings, and it really helps me connect with her music. This album was worth the wait, and for me there wasn’t one song I didn’t like!!

    I really loved this album, I've been a selenator since 2014 when she released "the heart wants what it wants". Every single song is a bop,my favorites are vulnerable, dance again and cut you off. She puts her emotions and feelings in this project and she worked so hard to do this. Love her and her music.

    The whole project gives bad girl vibes. The sounds are rare. The production is rare. Selena's voice is rare! And I LOVE IT. LYTLM is a masterpiece; a song that creates such deep emotions and I bet many cried while listening to the ROTY. Crowded room is such a cute song. While Fun and kinda crazy are here, I don't feel that they don't belong because they are rare. They belong on this albumThe whole project gives bad girl vibes. The sounds are rare.

Ring should be praised and appreciated by its lyrics. Vulnerable is such a powerful song for many many people. Cut you off is needy and LAHN is a bop.… Expand

    A cohesive, perfectly-produced comeback album after a nearly five-year hiatus, Selena Gomez’s “Rare” (and more specifically, the deluxe edition) is a body of work that, like Revival, will age like a fine wine over time.

    Rare is one of the best album in Selena’s career, musically it is very uplifting and a few songs makes me feel sassy like Ring for example. A few songs makes me feel want to dance. My fave song from the album is boyfriend it’s just sassy to me and really groovy, the lyrics is great but the beat is what makes it a true masterpiece.

    This is Selena's best album so far. The growth in her music from Revival is so evident and the songs suit her voice beautifully.

    This album means healing and growth, one of Selena Gomez’s best work! The best tracks in the album are in my opinion Lose You To Love Me, Ring and Cut You Off.

    I liked Selena but i wasn't her fan. From this album i am. I love Rare, songs like "Vulnerable" or "People You Know" are growing in you. A great pop album with deep lyrics. I don't know why it doesn't have more recognition.

    Esperava mais, não achei tudo isso que as pessoas falam. As ultimas músicas são bem ruins e genéricas. É ruim? não. É bom? Também não!

    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.
