    This album is a great comeback for Selena, the lyrics are pretty good and all the songs are different.

    Exuding confidence and growth, Rare distinguishes itself from other pop albums by focusing on mental health and growth over sex and dalliances. Miss Gomez is in top form, making one of the best pop records in recent time

    Selena seguiu a fórmula do tão Bem Sucedido Revival, com músicas calmas e letras maravilhosas, batidas calmas e de um Soft Pop que botaria inveja em qualquer cantor que tente fazer algo intimista e calmo, Acho que esse molde Maravilhoser dela precisa continuar. Toda e qualquer semelhança com Bar Liar e Fetish, são mera coincidência, o álbum soa mais original que os singles que ficaram deSelena seguiu a fórmula do tão Bem Sucedido Revival, com músicas calmas e letras maravilhosas, batidas calmas e de um Soft Pop que botaria inveja em qualquer cantor que tente fazer algo intimista e calmo, Acho que esse molde Maravilhoser dela precisa continuar. Toda e qualquer semelhança com Bar Liar e Fetish, são mera coincidência, o álbum soa mais original que os singles que ficaram de fora. Não vá esperando Pops dançantes que vai tocar na balada alá "A Year Without Rain" ou "Me And The Rhytm" o de mais próximo a um dos dois citados é "Look At Her Now" que soa como a final liberdade para a "Disney Baby" que Selena foi e talvez seja sobre a recuperação dela após o término com Abel (The Weeknd). Acho que o álbum precisa ser apreciado por pessoas que tem mente e ouvidos abertos a um mundo novo. Dou destaque a "Vulnerable" "Ring" e "Kinda Crazy" acho que você precisa achar a sua própria ordem natural de ouvir o álbum, a distribuição de faixas também não foi o forte da produção, o Início poderia muito bem ser um Prelúdio aos moldes de Revival já que se encaixaria de maneira perfeita no álbum. Mas enfim a bicha deu tudo que conseguiu e entrega essa jóia rara de um pop lapidado e forjado nas melhores mãos e com letras fofas e que lembram muito os álbuns de Nelly Furtado durante os anos 2000 (Coisas que eu amo de paixão).

    ¡Obra maestra!
    Selena se renueva de nueva en esta nueva era, tiene ritmos frescos y nuevos, cada tema es una historia diferente. Con cada canción puedes identificarte y ese es el punto del albúm, amarte a ti mismo y saber lo que vales, empoderarte y no dejar que nadie te pizotee.
    De los mejores albumes junto con Revival.

    This is definitely not one of Selena Gomez best's. Following up her magestic album Revival, the new album RARE is flat, and does not bring any exitment. Except for Lose You To Love Me, RARE is not a good work of art, and doesn't fit in 2020.

    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.
  2. Jan 14, 2020

    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.
