    This is a 10/10 album. The songs on this album are truly authentic and vulnerable. They are fresh and are songs u can repeat without getting old. Selena just keeps evolving.

    I have been listening to Selena Gomez since I was young. When releasing an album her style is vary versatile. Yet she still manages to have her own sound. This album orchestrates her new era and many emotions set out in album.

    This album is so cohesive despite each song being different from one another. It's refreshing and Selena didn't play it safe. Lose you to love me is the perfect lead, Rare is such an empowering song, a sweeter place is the best song to end the whole album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Selena Gomez released one of the best albums of the last decade, including excellent production, writing and vocals. With "Rare", Selena has been able to share her story in the most honest and vulnerable way, reflecting her personal experiences over the last four years. This album is the best one she's released so far and truly shows off her talent as a singer and songwriter.… 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.
