    One of the best cohesive pop albums i’ve heard so far,definitely comparable to 1989.Album of the decade,serve of the CENTURY.My favorite tracks are People You Know,Ring,Kinda Crazy,Crowded Room and A Sweeter Place.The album has literally NO skips.I could listen to it a million times and not get tired.Selena should do more songs like crowded room,it suits her voice so much! the lyrics ofOne of the best cohesive pop albums i’ve heard so far,definitely comparable to 1989.Album of the decade,serve of the CENTURY.My favorite tracks are People You Know,Ring,Kinda Crazy,Crowded Room and A Sweeter Place.The album has literally NO skips.I could listen to it a million times and not get tired.Selena should do more songs like crowded room,it suits her voice so much! the lyrics of vulnerable is the best.Sel has developed so much as an artist lyrically.If this doesn’t get nominated for a grammy-that’s how you will know that the grammys are trash.Even my least favourite song is a solid 7/10,which is saying something because other artists’ worst songs off their album is like 4/10.Don’t forget to watch the music video for rare on youtube!!!!

    It's the best album of Selena Gomez's career, you just can't choose favorite songs, even Taylor Swift mentioned it. Selena's best job so far and I hope not the last. Very good rhythm, very good lyrics, each of the songs have a personal touch executed with certain metaphors and doing it in a non-literal way.

    Selena’s long awaited album “Rare” has proven her musical diversity. Through intoxicating synths from “Look At Her Now” to lyrical depths from “Vulnerable”. Gomez has proven through every track that it is her time to shine and she will not be going anywhere. Gomez has completely taken control and now is shining brighter than ever before.

    You might like Selena, you might not. But we can't deny how much she has grown these past few years. Not only did she co-wrote every song from the album but she also executed each one beautifully. Props to the editors too, amazing job.

    Thank you Selena & Team for bringing back THE good music.

    The album is definitely a 10 for what it is: a pop album. People might find themselves disappointed because they expect an R&B kind of album, but this is not what it its. This is a solid, un-generic, cohesive and consistent pop album.

    Selena used this album to heal, find herself as an artist and a person, move forward and love herself. Rare is cohesive, beautifully written and sung and worth the 4 year wait. By far her best album and the most Selena release she has.

    Every song on Selena Gomez’s new Rare album is phenomenally produced, lyrically in tune and honestly breath taking. She really did THAT. The way she sings with vulnerability and pours her whole entire heart into her music is beautiful and very intriguing in many different ways. This is hands down one of the best female pop albums created in the last 10 years.

    After waiting for nearly 5 years for the new album-it finally came. It came in a great way. Lyrics are beyond beautiful and touching. Beat makes it more generic for some, but i think that we needed something like that-something fresh and Ms Gomez gave it to us.(RING IS MY FAVE). Every song is extraordinary. Every song can touch different parts of your mind.

    In certain Tracks it sounds great until innovative it could be said but the background of this new album should be the personal and sentimental improvement of Gomez as it shows in the Incredible “Lose You To Love Me” or the moved “Look At Her Now” but in several Tracks "Rare" can feel like he can't let go or resists losing that old love that always brings him trouble; Selena Gomez willIn certain Tracks it sounds great until innovative it could be said but the background of this new album should be the personal and sentimental improvement of Gomez as it shows in the Incredible “Lose You To Love Me” or the moved “Look At Her Now” but in several Tracks "Rare" can feel like he can't let go or resists losing that old love that always brings him trouble; Selena Gomez will not have the best Voice as Ariana Grande, the best Dance Steps like Beyoncé or the innate Talent to compose as Taylor Swift but her amazing person and unique voice make her an amazing artist, Sel can improve for the next album and the best is that he showed in “Rare” that he has a lot of potential, he just needs to free himself from the past and fall in love with the future Expand

    Though there were some highlights ("Rare" is very solid, and 6LACK's feature on "Crowded Room" is really enjoyable), the album as a whole was a little disappointing. With this long of a wait, it just was a little underwhelming. Also, lyrically, it was not the most nuanced (which is fine, just a little annoying at parts).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album was very anticipated and it fulfilled the expectations, maybe even exceeded them! Even at a first listen, the album doesn’t have a single bad track: musically, they’re all catchy, interesting and it’s clear that Selena experimented many cool tunes. Also, there are many different vibes and genres represented and overall it really feels like she’s telling a story, a beautiful, sad in some parts, journey. Something to really pay attention to are the lyrics. This album is really personal and invites to listen to every song by understanding exactly what emotions are poured into them. Even the most upbeat tracks hide raw emotions that everybody has experienced once in their life. In particular, I advice to go deep into the lyrics of Let Me Get Me, Vulnerable, A Sweeter Place (one of the two collaborations). Also, Ring is a genial track: it reminds of the vibe of Selena‘a own song from her previous album, Revival, the track called Same Old Love, but the lyrics definitely qualify this song as some kind of Selena’s own Blank Space. Love it. Title track is also great: catchy, fun, playful, the essence of pop and at the same time the sign of its evolution. Overall, you could find the influence of some of the songs she released during these years, available in the Target version of Rare, such as It Ain’t Me and Bad Liar (I recall It Ain’t Me vibes in Vulnerable - a mix of Pop and EDM). So, a great album! Congratulations Selena! Expand

    Selena Gomez’s newest album showcases her growth as an artist, and what she has experienced through the last 4 years. Gomez has brought to the table her A-game, from relatable lyrics such as “people can go from people you know to people you don’t” to a great production, rare has it all.

    Amazing album. This album is heartfelt and honest.The lyrics are beyond amazing. You can relate to it and the beats on all the songs are incredible. The songs I like the most are, rare, cut you off, crowded room and sweeter place.

    It’s really good and an upgrade from revival :) I am glad she explored a lot of genres this time and really went out of her comfort zone.

    this album was surprisingly perfect. i absolutely loved the vibe it gave. The writing on every track was gorgeous, it made me picture the scene of every song. it's more than what i expected, it shows growth and self-empowerment.

    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.

    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.
