I think the best songs in the album; People you know, rare, lose you to love me, a sweeter place and kinda crazy... In a nutshell all album lol.

    Thd id how you do a comeback. Personally, I think this is Selena's best album and shows a real artistic progression from revival, which I also loved. I think it also does tell a story with the first 4 songs being her looking back and getting to where she is now with tracks 5 to 13 telling a story of how she's healed over everything that she's been through.

    Hands down the best pop album of the recent years. Albums like “Rare” are so rare, that’s why we will be remembering them as decade defining works of art in the future. Listening to each track is like taking a fresh breath into Selena Gomez’s magical mindset. Every track stands ouy and deserves their own moment. No skip, every track is single worthy.

    Selena truly shines on this album. Her voice is soothing and conveys every emotion she has gone through in the past few years. Not only is she vulnerable and incredibly open about her feelings, she is also confident and content about being in a good place in life. The collabs are also amazing. All in all, this album has a message for everyone in its entirety.
