    Uma versão madura do Revival, letras marcantes, sinceras e pessoais, batidas impressionantes e vocais perfeitos, um álbum completamente coeso, seu melhor trabalho até então.
    A mature version of Revival, striking, heartfelt lyrics, stunning beats and perfect vocals, a completely cohesive album, his best work so far.

    This album, like one of the tracks says, is fun! While being fun and having interesting offbeat production, the lyrical content is strong, and makes you feel empowered and rare (pun intended)!

    Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    This album shows a new side to this artist, revealing a more mature side to her. It's a great album that talks a lot about loving yourself and overcoming a broken heart and leaving bad relationships in the past!

    It's fascinating how Gomez developed her music over the years. Her previous album, Revival, was a turning point in her career, presenting a more mature image to the general public, but with Rare she reaches a whole new level with a cohesive yet diverse album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Selena Gomez ha dado un álbum único. Ha presentado un álbum diverso con canciones que nos hablan de amor propio y de empoderamiento. Desde Vulnerable, que es de lejos una de las mejores del álbum, de Selena, del pop, de lo que va del año y de los últimos tiempos, con un sonido un poco alegre pero con una letra que nos deja pensando en cómo se siente Selena y nos identifica, canciones como Let Me Get Me o Dance Again que nos hacen bailar con sonidos impresionantes o Cut You Off, Rare o Fun que por medio de sonidos y palabras susurradas nos dan una nueva forma de escuchar música y entretenerse. Selena ha descubierto y ha dejado claro su estilo propio musical, con susurros de calidad y siendo uno de los formatos de música que todos quieren hacer. Increíble álbum que ha dado Selena. El mejor álbum de Selena y uno de los mejores de los últimos tiempos Expand

    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.

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 from following trends and instead opts for creating shimmery sleek, fresh pop music with confident personal lyrics, hypnotising synths and beautiful melodies.

    Selena has been able to improve her vocal work since Revival (2015). The sound that Rare brings us is beautiful! Powerful songs that show a woman stabilized and well with her past.

    Este álbum es una completa muestra de la mejoría de Selena en estos 4 años, confiada, divertida, vulnerable, y con mucho amor para dar, la producción es lo mejor del álbum, sus letras cortas pero muy buenas.

    It is his most personal, honest and creative work to date, personally I´m a huge fan and ´ve been waiting for this album almost 5 years. She actually killed it, this is full of bops, that tell where she is right now. So proud of her.

    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.
