    Selena Gomez's maturation is remarkable on this album. For a person who enjoys calm and slow music, Rare is undoubtedly a great choice.

    4 year of waiting and Gomez delivery and epic album. “Rare”, “Vulnerable” & “A Sweeter Place (feat. Kid Cudi)” are powerful and incredible songs. This whole album is a masterpiece.

    "Rare" is the confirmation that Selena's journey has made her grow into a stronger, independent but still sweet and forgiving woman.

    The song “RARE” is the perfect intro for the fans to let them know what route she’s taking with this album, and that is unpredictability. “Dance Again” is the long overdue disco song that Gomez should’ve released years ago. “Ring” is a masterpiece and easily one of the standouts together with the R&B perfection “Crowded Room (feat. 6LACK)” and the straightforward “Cut You Off”.

    By far the most cohesive, sonically progressive album from Selena Gomez. I love the lyrical content and how amazing the minimalist production that it has! I can see Grammy nominate her in a few categories. I daresay it is Pop masterpiece.

    Pop Perfection. Whose doing it like her? No one else can even compare. Her music is on another level. The evolution of music is this. Just like revival I expect people jumping on to try and do this. Congrats Selena you took your time and created something magical!

    Selena Gomez has constantly proved to everyone that she knows how to evolve as an artist and how she’s never scared of taking risks in the music industry! WHAT AN EPIC ALBUM!!! She did it again!!

    A pop perfection by Gomez. This album is pop gold, and Gomez's breathy vocals adds a soothing texture to every song. Taylor Swift' 1989 has officially found it's successor and it's 'Rare ' A cohesive masterpiece. Gomez just keeps amazing us with every album.

    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.
