    After 5 years it was worth the wait. Selena Gomez came out with bangers on this album.

    É um bom álbum pop. Com músicas intimistas e dançantes. Nunca tinha ouvido Selena e bom uma boa primeira impressão.

    An amazing album. Revival is still my favorite body of work from her, but this album really showed off her experimental side. The lyrical content and honesty along with the diverse production makes it a truly iconic album.

    Selena has evolved in terms of her musical career, this album has great melodies with lyrics that tell a story, something new in Miss Gomez, perhaps the best album of her career fighting with her predecessor, "Revival".

    Love the newfound sounds of her voice. Full of meaningful lyrics, from dance to chill in your car music. Thank you for the fresh start of the year in music.

    Honestly, the best ever album I've ever heard from her. Starting from her vocals, to her soothing voice, every song in that album is a bop. People have their most favourite to their least favourite from that album, but nobody hates any of the songs from that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall a solid pop album that tells the journey of a girl who grew and matured after overcoming heartbreak. The biggest let down for me was the lack of variety in sound - she could have explored other genres and still have a cohesive piece of work. Nevertheless it's an easy listen...just nothing overly memorable.… Expand

    Good album. This album has dedication, creativity and love. Awesome album about moving on after a heartbreak, lose you to love me is a great song. It's awesome and Selena really worked hard on this album. Yes, it is mainstream but her voice and meaning of the songs dont make it that bad, would love if this album had more different songs since 80% of it is about heartbreak but still great.

    Rare is an album that defiantly looks forward and is rooted in positivity. Not one to wallow, Gomez would prefer to dance away her heartache. The result is a collection that offers a perfectly balanced mix of exuberant bangers, like the sashaying carefree ebullience of Dance Again, mixed with down tempo slow jams like Kinda Crazy that offer numerous subtle and compelling melodic twists and turns.

    We can say this album is good but the problem is that it’s not catchy. I listened after that I forgat. I guess it’s not good

    a good album, but it did not feel the integrity of the era, 8 points purely because of Deluxe, but since it is not Deluxe then 7

    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.
