Селена и ее команда преодолевают новую музыкальную границу, успешно вписываясь в современные музыкальные тренды, при этом создавая уникальный продукт. Для Селены Гомез это большой прогресс после умопомрочительного Revival. Теперь она уверенная в себе женщина, она знает чего хочет и как это получит.

    Даже если изначально песня кажется довольно средней, то слушая ее повторно, в каждой без исключений, находишь свои особенные моменты, какие-то интересные штучки которые Гомез создает своим нежным вокалом или музыкальные истории. Постпродакшн песен заставляет подняться и аплодировать! 4 года которые длилась запись этого альбома максимально себя оправдывают.

    На данный момент это лучшая работа Селены!

    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.
