    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really liked the Rare album, in it Selena conveys everything that she experienced in a difficult period of her life, you can get healing from this album. All the songs from the album are chic, original and original in style. The Rare album exceeded all my expectations and gave me much more than I expected to receive. My favorites from the album at the moment are: Ring, Kinda crasy, People you know… Expand

    This album shows maturity, healing and a process of self-love/self-respect. Selena did the four years of her fans wait worth it. She deserves all the best.

    Our pop princess came to show all her vulnerability and what she's been through. With really good vocals, Selena knows how to use her voice and make music that touch people. Compare to revival it's a lot of grown especially in the creative process. It's a new decade and Selena started just in the right way.

    Como siempre Selena no decepciona, debería reconocerse que selena es unas de las artistas mas experimentales de la industria y eso no le da miedo, en cada proyecto selena se supera a ella misma, y RARE es la prueba, estos cuatro años valieron totalmente la pena, sus vocales, los sonidos frescos, las letras, todo es perfecto y raro, este es su mejor trabajo y se que tendrá muchoComo siempre Selena no decepciona, debería reconocerse que selena es unas de las artistas mas experimentales de la industria y eso no le da miedo, en cada proyecto selena se supera a ella misma, y RARE es la prueba, estos cuatro años valieron totalmente la pena, sus vocales, los sonidos frescos, las letras, todo es perfecto y raro, este es su mejor trabajo y se que tendrá mucho reconocimiento por eso, orgullosa de ser stan de SELENA GOMEZ.

    Lose You To Love Me is the only ballad in the album, the only sonically vulnerable moment in a fully confident album. From the moment Rare hits it given that she's over lytlm story so it hits like a highlight

    Pop perfection. Selena Gomez not only shows how much she has grown and matured as an artist with this masterful, cohesive collection of songs; she also shows that she is on top of the pop music game. While most of her contemporaries try to jump on trip-hop and trap trends to make their version of "pop" more commercial, albeit generic and uninspired, Gomez is not afraid to stray away fromPop perfection.

    Um dos melhores álbuns já feitos pela própria cantora. Trouxe não só uma energia boa e tranquila, como também poderosa e sem crueldade. A cantora mostra um lado de como não ser ruim e de como os problemas podem se tornar tão pequenos quando mudamos a maneira de pensar e olhar. Um álbum que muitos se identificam com e cheio de melodias pop-vibrant.

    The first half of the album from 'Rare' to 'People You Know' is amazing. Each song has it's own individual sound and is notable.

The highlights of this album are 'Dance Again', 'Lose You to Love Me', 'Ring' and 'Vulnerable'. The pitfalls and songs that probably should have been scrapped are 'Look at Her Now' and 'Fun'. The irony in this is Revival and Rare are both lyrically more sophisticated however are not cohesive records. At least with Stars Dance there was some cohesion.… Expand

    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.
