    Selena continues to do the unexpected, expand the boundaries of what pop music can be, and set trends that we’ll be hearing a lot of in the near future. Every song has it’s own individuality and yet they all blend perfectly together to make an ethereal sonically cohesive pop masterpiece, something we haven’t seen since Taylor Swift’s “1989.”

    It’s a fresh masterpiece and it’s completely different from what we’ve heard from her before. Revival was good but RARE is in the next level. It’s also good to be able to notice that there’s some influence from other artists in the tracks. A person who listens to other people to learn and grow up in music deserves nothing else but recognition.

    "Rare" was a good album for Selena. There was a slight maturing of her sound and leaves plenty of room to expand in her future work. Stand out tracks were "Rare," "Dance Again", "Vulnerable," and "Fun."

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was overall just a really, really cohesive album. It really brought out the best in Selena, maybe not vocally in particular but lyrically and just the melodies. Amazing.

    My favorite was probably Sweeter Place ft. Kid Cudi. This was just so... amazing and it really flows well. Their voices go super well together for it to just blend into pop/hip-hop perfection. Worth a listen.
    The singles were amazing, Lose You To Love Me caught my attention immediately with its graceful slowness.. it really set the scene for the new era.
    Look At Her Now was also really good, not her best lyrically but really damn catchy and it's such an empowering, confidence-boosting song. Loved it.

    Least favorite was still AMAZING, and that was Fun. Fun took some time to warm up to, but there's something a bit off about how it sounds. Still jam to it though: just not her best work.

Its not easy stripping down emotionally and opening up about the things breaking us down, but Selena does it so gracefully - lyrics like “holding hands with the darkness and knowing my heart is allowed” are the proof for that. With “Rare”, Selena creates a lyrically, sonically and vocally master piece that’s refreshing and different - she shows once again she’s not afraid of taking risks. She’s literally in her own league now, distancing herself from other artists releasing generic music just for clout and charts. Expand

    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. ...
