    Her best album sonically and lyrically to date. This is how you grow and mature musically and as a person. Don't be afraid and be confident to speak about things that is tiring your heart.

    The album is cohesive. She adds different elements within each song that no traditional pop album has. Selena Gomez proves herself that after a four year hiatus, she is a growing artist.

    After nearly 5 years, it was nothing like I expected. It is, however, cohesive and emotional in a way that Selena Gomez usually isn't. She's setting the tone for the year - and the decade - with a solid 3rd solo album/6th overall.

    Rare es probablemente el mejor trabajo discográfico en la carrera de Selena Gomez, luego de superar las expectativas con “Revival” en 2015 parecía imposible que ella es reinvente y logre hacer un trabajo mejor, sin embargo lo logro, haciendo un álbum con buenas líricas, ritmo, una conexión única con los fans, una conexión tan rara.

    Okay, let me be honest. I can say that the album wasn’t worth waiting 4 years for, BUT it’s still a nice pop-album with few bangers.

A work full of letters people who are not repetitive to the ear and who enjoy every time you listen to the song again and again. The production is wonderful and his vocals stand out very well in all the songs. You never disappoint Selena Gomez. 10/10 YOU DESERVE IT

    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.
