    Finally an album after 4 years and each day was worth the wait. The album stands out in terms of vocals, production and how much selena has improved in these years after all she has been through. The lyrics fit perfectly into the beats. If you are looking for something new with an essence of pop this is the album for you.The album comprises a total of 0 skips and 13 bops.

    The best album by any ex-act. This album showcases how nobody is like Selena, she is in fact rare and one of a kind. 10/10

    This album really shows how far she has come. When I first listened I was worried that I wouldn’t enjoy this album, because it explored so many different sounds. The more I have listened to it the more I love it. The lyrics are great, the production is amazing and overall it’s a great album to start off the new decade.

    I think she exceed expectations of all. Definitely after her team and Selena worked so hard on this project and all the time we expected has been repaid. I think they worked so well and this album is going to be at the top of all the chart and surely it deserves all the success. Anyway, worst track is “Look at her now” and the best tracks are “Rare”, “People you Know” and “SwPlace”. I hopeI think she exceed expectations of all.

    In the nearly five years since the release of her last album Selena Gomez has come so far musically and emotionally. In her old music I could always picture someone else doing it,some had EDM vibes some had Rihanna vibes...it was never completely Selena. However ”Rare” is fully her. I can’t see anyone but her do this. Rare has absolutely no skips and every song could be a single.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un álbum bueno pero que con el tiempo es muy olvidable. Una producción interesante e impresionante que no se supo aprovechar al cien, hay letras con buenos mensajes pero con poco contenido en ellas es más fácil hacer un interludio que diga; "No me amas tanto como yo lo hago, joder soy tan rara" en lugar de hacer una canción de 3:40 minutos que repite lo mismo una y otra vez, a pesar de eso Gómez nos da algunas canciones destacables como lo es Vulnerable, Cut you off, Sweeter place y Crowded Room.
    Un buen salto para una artista nula, aún le falta trabajar demasiado para estar a la altura de sus contemporáneas Miley Cyrus y Ariana Grande., esperemos que después de está evolución siga creciendo y superandose, por ahora se queda con el amarillo.    … Expand

    “Rare” is the new pop album by Singer/Actress Selena Gomez. She collaborated with many great producers/composers for this new project and it most certainly shows from beginning to end. ‘Revival’ was her last full length album and it was actually the first time she leaned to a more mature and secure sound.

She collaborated with many great producers/composers for this new project and it most certainly shows from beginning to end. ‘Revival’ was her last full length album and it was actually the first time she leaned to a more mature and secure sound. Gomez never had a very overpowering belting voice, but she utilized her emotion and tone in every song on this record. She sounds extremely confident and secure with how she’s singing and what she’s singing about on these songs with the sometimes simple, yet powerful lyrics. Is this album for everyone? No. But granted it’s still an album that has something for everyone, but at the same time it might actually please a lot of people who weren’t a fan of hers before. Why? Because of her great delivery on each song and how different this is from her previous work. Overall, this is a strong solid pop album that we haven’t really gotten recently. Genuine lyrics:emotion/tone being displayed on each song in a cohesive album is well.... “rare” nowadays. I highly recommend everyone to listen to the new stellar album ‘Rare’ by Selena Gomez.… Expand

    A new taste of what Selena is capable of. New lessons learned and a new side of every story.

    Best album! So good! I love all the songs, but Rare and Cut You Off are brilliant.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. an untrue album titled "personal" but it was a conglomeration of songs written by other people or even discarded by other artists. Generic and impersonal, not very good songs and with a sickening voice that is not 1% of the horror that is live.… Expand

    Beautiful, magnetizing, breathtaking. This album has it all, the first album that I’ve heard that checks every box of what an album should be. Selena is definitely someone to look out for, she might’ve not been competition to some before but my advice to those is to watch out because she’s here to make herself known! 10/10

    ela disse ser um álbum pessoal, mas eu esperava mais... achei fraco e repetitivo

    Ao contrário do que o nome possa sugerir, Rare tem uma sonoridade genérica, pouco inspirada ou inusitada. Apesar disso, possui bons momentos, principalmente do começo até a primeira metade.

    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.
