    Definitely her best body of work she has ever released. Every song has a different sound which makes the album really versatile, but it still sounds cohesive as a whole. You can also see the artistic growth from her previous works. Mature, vulnerable, sophisticated and powerful would be the best words to describe it. 10/10

    So good. It really shows Selena's growth as a person and as an artist. She's out of her comfort zone and this album is so different from everything I've ever heard before.

    Selena consegue trazer emoção em 100% do disco, uma sensibilidade que dá o toque necessário para tudo isso funcionar. Você tenta escolher sua música preferida a cada faixa que passa, mas no final sente que deve ouvir tudo de novo para decidir, e fica nisso sempre porque não tem músicas genéricas.

    O álbum não possui nada de novo, isso é um FATO. Rare, que possui mais compositores que "We are you world" - Michael Jackson, não se desenvolve como o prometido. Os singles 'Lose you to love me' e 'Look at her now' fazem sim certo sentido ao que ela quer dizer, mas o resto das faixas são COMPLETAMENTE SEM NEXOS E DESCARTÁVEIS e que não mostram o 'amor próprio' dito pelos singles.

Kinda Crazy, por exemplo, é ÓTIMA se fosse pra 'Romance' ou 'Lover' e não para um álbum de auto-aceitação. Tirando isso também temos uma participação da Bebe Rexha em 'Vulnerable', mostrando que nem a própria cantora tem a segurança de elevar a música (que de certo, nem chegam perto da originalidade e são bem sonolentas).
    Outro contexto que não favoreceu é que não é COESO na sequência de faixas. Qual é o nexo de botar 1, 2 músicas sobre auto-aceitação pra depois ter 9, 11 músicas para relembrar que ainda sente falta do cara que ela tanto fala? NENHUMA.
    Enfim, sem tempero. Da próxima me venha com um melhor.
