    Rare is generic and all of the tracks seem to have the same sound. I wish to hear better and meaningful songs that balance sadness,power, and happiness

Give her the credit she deserves. A lot of artists aren’t as authentic as she is. You can tell she spent a lot of time writing for this album and it is her most authentic work to date.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, let’s start. let's be honest, Selena never had great talents, she doesn’t sing, dance or write lyrics, but she pleased us with groovy melodies (which of course weren’t written by her, but still), and these melodies became radio hits (no wonder lol they this was always calculated). ‘Revival’ was not a work of art or a super-high-quality product, it was ordinary, but varied and vibrant. Even if there was no logical sense in building a set list, in clips, in the era itself or in the image of Selena during the era .. we will forget all this by forgiving and accepting :) And now came out 'Rare' and this... very bad, I'm seriously oooooooooooooooooo bad. the album is raw, empty and absolutely none. such music will come down for background listening in cafes on weekends, somewhere there on the radio, for a greater feeling that it does not pretend. it blows Selena up so much that he is literally filled with her dullness as an artist, her mediocrity. and that’s it. he is somewhat similar to the recently released ‘Lover’, but he doesn’t have any lyrics that Miss Swift wrote alone, and Gomez wrote all this with co-authors. in general, the album is so flat and even (not in a good way) that I want to cry because she lost such a chance to abruptly return to the industry and break her competitors. but she chose the path easier - again 0 concepts and stylistics, 0 creativity, everything is factory and static, 0 vocals (… Expand

Este álbum podría decirse que es el mejor que nos ha dado Selena después de Revival, una época donde ella busca la aceptación y se sentía apagada. Con Rare no solo sabes que estás dando un cierre. Estas iniciando una nueva etapa. Las letras se compaginan con los sonidos y el ritmo hace que podamos viajar en nuestros pensamientos.… Expand

    'Rare' is literally Selena Gomez's "Magnum Opus". The production & lyrical value in this album gives me a more mature rhythmic feel to her music after listening to each of the 13 tracks.

Amazing, to be honest, Selena really made a great job, all the sounds, the lyrics, the art, all is awesome, we can see herself in this album, Rare is a masterpiece. Songs like crowded room and a sweeter place are ones of my favorites, I don’t have words to explain how beautiful is her album… Expand
