    this is a bible, surely rare saved the year 2020 with its minimalist sound and angelic vocals, bringing with it its first truly modern manifesto within you. It's her most beautiful art so far.

    Best tracks: ***Crowded Room, Ring, Let Me Get Me, Kinda Crazy, & Rare. After a seemingly endless four years, we (Selena’s dedicated fans/Selenators) finally got what we were hoping for. The songs are catchy, lyrical-gold tracks with a very old-timey feel (Ring, for example, transports me back to the 1920’s). We want to see this album shine.

    Wow, it's a masterpiece, every song is a bop. During her break from the spotlight, she grew up and now she delivered us the album of the decade.

    With a really good produced songs, Selena gave us a melancolic, symphonic and metaphorical album with lyrics that are in the same level as the instrumentals, furthermore her non-high voice give to the album a softly sound. Although with those lyrics and sounds the featurings got annoying in an album that proves it isn't collaborations nededed.

    almost a year after the release of this album. all i have to say is that Rare remains Album Of The Year. From the lyrics to the sounds to the vocals to the emotions, Selena Gomez managed to drop a very coohesive album that you can listen to daily and not get bored of. This is an amazing example of what a pop albulm is supposed to be.

    What a great way to start the 20's! After 4 years in the making of Selena Gomez's long awaited third studio album, it's safe to say the waiting and big anticipation has been generously rewarded. In a time where the music market is filled up with generic trap and r&b songs, getting to listen to "RARE" is like a new fresh breath of air that gives you a taste of euphoria and bliss. It'sWhat a great way to start the 20's! After 4 years in the making of Selena Gomez's long awaited third studio album, it's safe to say the waiting and big anticipation has been generously rewarded. In a time where the music market is filled up with generic trap and r&b songs, getting to listen to "RARE" is like a new fresh breath of air that gives you a taste of euphoria and bliss. It's doesn't require a master's degree to see how the pop star's sound has evolved in a miraculously the best way possible though it's not also quite surprising after Gomez tasted the waters back in 2017 with "Bad Liar" & "Fetish" when they became two of her most critically acclaimed songs from her discography as "Bad Liar" became the number 1 song of the that year according to Billboard critics. All of the songs fit perfectly into the album's concept and theme both lyrically and sonically and it's obvious that Gomez has found her sound in music, a sound that not everyone is willing and able to pull up. Throughout the tracks the singer makes it very clear there's no place in her life for anything but confidence, self-acceptance and strength as she also embraces her own vulnerability and weaknesses. With the release of "RARE", Gomez raises the bar quite high and it may be hard for other artists to reach it any time soon as more and more established pop artists lean towards the "new wave" sound. With all said, it's more than clear that "RARE" is truly her best body of work (so far!) and we are only yet to see and witness the pop princess's next music triumphs. Expand

    Selena iniciou a era Rare contando como havia superado uma fase muito difícil e como isso a levou ao amor próprio em Lose You To Love. Em seguida fomos apresentados a Look at Her Now, onde vemos o auge de sua auto estima em uma faixa muito alegre e chiclete, diferente da anterior, melancólica, mas tbm reflexiva.

    Selena iniciou a era Rare contando como havia superado uma fase muito difícil e como isso a levou ao amor próprio em Lose You To Love. Em seguida fomos apresentados a Look at Her Now, onde vemos o auge de sua auto estima em uma faixa muito alegre e chiclete, diferente da anterior, melancólica, mas tbm reflexiva.
    Com o álbum completo em mãos podemos ver mais dos dois lados já mostrados, por exemplo, sua auto estima na faixa título, Rare.
    Em Dance Again, Ring e Let Me Get Me (que traz sonoridade semelhante a antiga faixa Body Heat de seu álbum antecessor) temos ritmos mais animados e dançantes, sem deixar de lado letras inspiradoras, ousadas e fortes, enquanto em Vunerable, Crowded Room e Cut You Off temos o lado mais melancólico. Rare é muito coeso, suas faixas se conversam de modo muito claro, tanto nas letras quanto nas melodias.
    People You Know é provavelmente minha favorita do álbum, mesmo havendo melhores composições nele, seus vocais marcantes no final da faixa me lembram do timbre de Tove Lo, o que me faz desejar por uma parceria entre ambas, enquanto Fun é a faixa que menos me chama a atenção, provavelmente pela sua sonoridade mais descontraída que não atende ao resto do álbum, e curiosamente foi a última música a ser adicionada ao álbum, mas que possui uma guitarra bem marcante que traz uma vibe meio verão, praiana.
    As letras são muito maduras, queria destacar Cut You Off e Lose You To Love que são quase relatos de como Selena superou alguns relacionamentos tóxicos em sua vida.
    Rare termina com Selena se mostrando, ao mesmo tempo, esperançosa e realista em seu feat com Kid Cudi na faixa A Sweeter Place.
    Esperar 4 anos por esse álbum valeu a pena, eu não consigo sentir nada além de orgulho pela pessoa e artista incrível que Selena Gomez se tornou e está se tornando.

Comparing the amazing singles like Bad Liar and Fetish to this new collection of songs really highlights the decline in quality. To quote Ajayll ‘We need more

    Selena Gomez is back and freer than ever. This album is everything but rare. It feels liberating, confident and powerful. Gomez has for sure reinvented herself and her sound.

I can hear a dramatic but very sweet and correct musical evolution. The album sounds like spring; a rose flowering from the darkest moments of life to emerge from the ground as one of the world's most beautiful gifts. It is truly inspiring how Selena has been able to leave the "Stars Dance" mainstream pop and its desire to earn a gold certification apart and focus on making an album that is loyal to her personality and her underrated vocal ability. Gomez sounds amazing in this whisper tone register and breathy voice in this act of divine ruthlessness, full of dance-y, mid-tempo clarity project.
    The album doesn't have a storyline at all and doesn't mainly focus on her fight against lupus nor her romantic relationships, which is something I wanted to listen from her. Neverthless, with this album she is making a statement of confidence, self-empowerment and self-love, focusing on herself. Definitely a smart move for the singer.
    Gomez has made an album that feels like a conversation with herself, making "Rare" the album that she'll for sure remember as her most personal and loved one to date since it plays the role of a love letter to herself written with Swedish pop music mixed with a little bit of craziness and weirdness. An amazing recipe for this highly amusing album.

This album recognizes confidence, self growth, and being your own savior instead of letting someone else save you all while keeping the songs catchy. Listen closely to the lyrics and you can tell she does not need someone to be her hero, she is her own hero. This is very Tove Lo inspired, and that is true modern day pop music. The production is superb, and so are the lyrics. Great job Selena, this tasty album was worth the 4 year wait. Expand

    One of the most beautiful cohesive albums I ever heard! The tracks makes you feel special about yourself and tell you that in order to be happy you should go through pain, her features Kid Cudi and 6lack get her sound out of comfort zone and experiment her abilities in a popish rnb. This album is such an experience and “rare” as Selena get new freshly music and melodies, 70-ish pop album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album is soundly cohesive and has great transitions between songs. However, Ring proves to be a fish out of water within the sound of the album. Selena bets on contagious beats and brought a good rhythm to the current pop. Vulnerable is undoubtedly one of the best if not the best songs on the album. 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.
