    There’s no music growth. Revival was way better what a disappointment, for a four year wait.... I had really high hopes for this album and it turned our very different

    Gomez proves once again that she can have a very versatile and strong voice, she gave us an album that has musical chronology, no song bores you and is not tired of listening, congratulations Selena, you did not give an album of excellent quality.

    Gomez experiments with different sounds but by also being consistent with the message all around which is about self-love, knowing your worth, and that its not going to be okay each time. She collabs with 6lack and kid cudi for interesting sounding songs that makes sense to the album. Selena gomez presents her best work till date. Rare.

    This is the most versatile album Selena has ever created. There is a song everyone can find themselves to enjoy. At certain moments you can find her going to 80-90s music, her experimenting with electro pop, and even R&B sounds. I noticed she tried a different approach with her vocals & production and that’s exactly what we all wanted to hear. Highly recommend.

    Great album enjoyable from the beggining to the fin, Ring song is latin infused it's a great choise if you ask me, she allowed to make latin music and not everyone is allowed to do so, Fun is the other track along with Ring some people don't like but it's not bad it's a chill song you can enjoy yo set on mood, everything else is or dance infused or Urban/rnb inspired songs so would like it better
