    Is have a very Autotune and it is bad. Many people did not like this and it is the reason why I do not like it, it is boring and a thousand times I stay with Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande that is a real album

    Muito ruim e genérico, além das músicas serem muito semelhantes umas as outras. Outro ponto bem negativo é que, em alguns momentos, imaginei Camila Cabello interpretando Ring ou a Dua Lipa interpretando Dance Again. Para um 'álbum pessoal' você não conseguir ver a própria intérprete na música, isso só mostra o quão pré-fabricado foi esse CD antes de Selena colocar seus vocais.

    Outro ponto negativo são os vocais fracos da Selena que fazem as músicas serem muito lineares porque, vocalmente falando, ela não consegue trazer nada grandioso que possa dar um momento de ápice a canção.

    It’s really pathetic that Justin and her broke up and she’s still singing about their relationships. Both singers are trash. The album was boring. All the songs sounds similar

    The only good song is LYTLM as a balad, the rest of the songs are the same rhythm and the voice weak and without force, the breathing voice is boring so that makes the album gets a monotony beat. Revival still being the best album by Selena.

    Selena Gomez has released her second album under Interscope and I was very eager to listen to it because it’s said to be her diary from the last few trying years she has gone through. Unfortunately, the end result is a muddled project that failed to stick the landing. Part of the issues with “Rare” is the direction they went with on the production. The 3-4 songs (Look at Her Now, Lose YouSelena Gomez has released her second album under Interscope and I was very eager to listen to it because it’s said to be her diary from the last few trying years she has gone through. Unfortunately, the end result is a muddled project that failed to stick the landing. Part of the issues with “Rare” is the direction they went with on the production. The 3-4 songs (Look at Her Now, Lose You to Love Me, Ring, and Cut You Off) that stood out were brilliantly executed in my opinion. I felt the energy/emotions in those songs and are very relatable for everyone (to a certain degree) which draws the listener back to revisit them over and over. Then we’re left with the rest....although to be fair, the title track isn’t all too bad, just a bit too basic that gets saved by its production. “Fun” and “A Sweeter Place” are poison to this album and it’s quite unfortunate that Sweeter Place gets to close off the album after such a strong song (Cut You Off) got the album somewhat on track after some obvious fillers. The vocals were nothing to brag about and the lyrics weren’t strong either. Perhaps the album was hyped to the point where “Rare” didn’t stand a chance to even compete. It’s disappointing in all honesty...especially after we get a glimpse of what Selena Gomez can do, which is take the reins and really show us how talented she is. Maybe this album faced the problem of having too many cooks in the kitchen, that in the end her vision or original lyrics didn’t get to shine through. Expand

    At moments Gomez seems to be working in the shadow of another kiddie-TV veteran, Ariana Grande, who used last year’s masterful “Thank U, Next” to unpack a number of complicated incidents about which countless people had drawn their own conclusions. “Rare” isn’t quite up to Grande’s level.

    The songs are so boring, and her voice is the same in all of them, her lyrics are songs that other artists didn't want and she keeps crying for a guy who is already married, nobody likes this victim character anymore.

    O álbum não possui nada de novo, isso é um FATO. Rare, que possui mais compositores que "We are you world" - Michael Jackson, não se desenvolve como o prometido. Os singles 'Lose you to love me' e 'Look at her now' fazem sim certo sentido ao que ela quer dizer, mas o resto das faixas são COMPLETAMENTE SEM NEXOS E DESCARTÁVEIS e que não mostram o 'amor próprio' dito pelos singles.

Kinda Crazy, por exemplo, é ÓTIMA se fosse pra 'Romance' ou 'Lover' e não para um álbum de auto-aceitação. Tirando isso também temos uma participação da Bebe Rexha em 'Vulnerable', mostrando que nem a própria cantora tem a segurança de elevar a música (que de certo, nem chegam perto da originalidade e são bem sonolentas).
    Outro contexto que não favoreceu é que não é COESO na sequência de faixas. Qual é o nexo de botar 1, 2 músicas sobre auto-aceitação pra depois ter 9, 11 músicas para relembrar que ainda sente falta do cara que ela tanto fala? NENHUMA.
    Enfim, sem tempero. Da próxima me venha com um melhor.

    all the tracks look alike and the beats are no big deal. pure trash
    There is no way to hear the whole album one more time. I would only save 'rare' which is interesting but in the end, neither did she write and / or produce. what a pity

    this album was perfect to show how selena is a terrible artist. without talent and propped up on her ex boyfriend. what a shame. taylor swift is best, but I will rank 1 for the effort of trying to be relevant.

    Nada muito diferente do que ela fez antes. Para um álbum que se propõe pessoal, não apresenta nenhuma identidade própria. Semelhante a tudo que já ouvimos por aí.

    Basic!! Most boring and repetitive sound ever. Definitely didn’t top Revival. She is going to have success but doesn’t deserve. She took 4 years to create this mess? Wow... disappointed but not surprised.

    I’m so underwhelmed, waited four years just for her to release this generic garbage. i’m seriously unstanning and becoming a full time Taylor stan.

    Rare is generic and all of the tracks seem to have the same sound. I wish to hear better and meaningful songs that balance sadness,power, and happiness

    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.
