    There is pop formula here -- Gomez hires Swedish hitmaker Max Martin for crucial noises at the end of the lively "Hands to Myself," and songwriter-with-attitude-for-hire Charli XCX contributed her share of "Same Old Love" from a remote location. But Gomez is appealingly desperate and hungry, and this quality transcends the most familiar-sounding material.

But Gomez is appealingly desperate and hungry, and this quality transcends the most familiar-sounding material. The finale, "Rise," contains a gospel chorus, whooping and a spoken-word prayer, a sort of mini-"Man in the Mirror" without quite as much to say.… Expand

    This is a really good album, so much mature than her previous ones. Songs like "Sober" "Good For You" "Hands To Myself" "Perfect" etc, make this album one of the best albums of her career and one of the best from this year. Great lyrics and fresh sound, keep the good work Selena!

    Song for song, Revival rivals Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion for breakout pop album of the year, but if it similarly falls short of greatness, it's due in large part to a lack of originality.

    There’s enough growth here to accept the occasional stumble. Revival, like ‘Good For You’, is a damn fine, hook-laden surprise. Selena Gomez has found a voice worth paying serious attention to.

    Revival is an audacious name for a 23-year-old singer's second album, but from start to finish, Gomez earns it. This is the sound of a newly empowered pop artist growing into her strengths like never before.
