    Album of the YEAR
    Selena Gomez really took her time with her music and now you know why. There are so many different songs and they have all hidden meanings. The melodies are so good and versatile and then the lyrics hit you. You need to listen a few times to get it and every time you play you can feel what she has felt. It’s emotional, funny, sexy and it makes you want to dance.    … Expand

    The album is perfect lyrically sonically and vocally. I love how Selena made it her job to deliver us a story made by her about her that simply explains herself and introducing herself as someone who RARE. She has yet to make a bad record and with this record she proves that she can only get better! Well done Selena you made an amazing work of art!

    One of the best albums I've heard in my life. Has zero skips (even though my least fav is Fun). And this album shows how Selena Gomez found her voice and her artistic growth since her album Revival. I love how the majority of the songs have the 'I'm a bad b*tch and I'm better now' vibe. I'm actually happy that she took 4 or so years to make this album bc trust me, the wait was WORTH IT 100%.

    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.
