    The best pop album I’ve heard in a really long time! Each track sound so different yet go together cohesively perfectly. Selena keeps growing and growing each release she makes. The collabs with 6LACK and Kid Cudi are amazing.

    This album really shows everything Selena feels and thinks as she said it is her side of the story, but not of one, but of all her history during these last years
    is something completely different, I think I never see this style in her, but I like it and I really enjoyed, this album it was the thing that my life needed.

    Даже если изначально песня кажется довольно средней, то слушая ее повторно, в каждой без исключений, находишь свои особенные моменты, какие-то интересные штучки которые Гомез создает своим нежным вокалом или музыкальные истории. Постпродакшн песен заставляет подняться и аплодировать! 4 года которые длилась запись этого альбома максимально себя оправдывают.

    "A Sweeter Place", "Ring" and "Cut You Off" are the best ones!!! Selena is back with everything!

    Um lindo registro de como se pode superar relacionamentos doentes e perceber o quão raro você é.
