    This album is the definition of “Pop Perfection” each song has a different story and it’s very hard to do that with the genre “pop” but Selena Gomez successfully achieved that with this album. She has an amazing way of emotionally getting attached to the song and making other people relate to it. Album of the decade.

    "A varsity-squad production team, including various Max Martin-affiliated Swedes and the ace songwriting duo of Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels, bring their considerable contributions — though their job, of course, is to make Gomez sound like nothing less than her own woman: a girl interrupted but now returned, in Rare form.”

    Selena seguiu a fórmula do tão Bem Sucedido Revival, com músicas calmas e letras maravilhosas, batidas calmas e de um Soft Pop que botaria inveja em qualquer cantor que tente fazer algo intimista e calmo, Acho que esse molde Maravilhoser dela precisa continuar.

Toda e qualquer semelhança com Bar Liar e Fetish, são mera coincidência, o álbum soa mais original que os singles que ficaram de fora. Não vá esperando Pops dançantes que vai tocar na balada alá "A Year Without Rain" ou "Me And The Rhytm" o de mais próximo a um dos dois citados é "Look At Her Now" que soa como a final liberdade para a "Disney Baby" que Selena foi e talvez seja sobre a recuperação dela após o término com Abel (The Weeknd). Acho que o álbum precisa ser apreciado por pessoas que tem mente e ouvidos abertos a um mundo novo. Dou destaque a "Vulnerable" "Ring" e "Kinda Crazy" acho que você precisa achar a sua própria ordem natural de ouvir o álbum, a distribuição de faixas também não foi o forte da produção, o Início poderia muito bem ser um Prelúdio aos moldes de Revival já que se encaixaria de maneira perfeita no álbum. Mas enfim a bicha deu tudo que conseguiu e entrega essa jóia rara de um pop lapidado e forjado nas melhores mãos e com letras fofas e que lembram muito os álbuns de Nelly Furtado durante os anos 2000 (Coisas que eu amo de paixão).… 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. ...
