Nesse novo conteúdo, podemos ver a evolução da cantora no cenário pop em que a mesma está inserido, como por exemplo “Cut You Off” e “Crowded Room”. Percebemos também que, em algumas partes do novo disco, a sonoridade de seu antecessor retorna, o que traz boas lembranças pra quem já havia o consumido anteriormente. E, apesar da incoesão em certas partes da tracklist, e pela falta de faixas como “Bad Liar”, “Fetish” e outras, esses só são alguns fatores também apagados diante de tantas qualidades que esse novo trabalho da Selena nos mostra. Como veredito final, o álbum é bom, não tanto quanto seu antecessor sonoramente, mas possui muitos aspectos positivos que o destaca. Valeu a pena a espera.… Expand

    Absolutely the best Selena Gomez album thus far, most songs are relatable and yet still fun.. only one or two songs that may not up to par but overall this album is a masterpiece.

    sem perder a essência, Selena apresenta um trabalho lapidado e sofisticado, classificado por mim como chique. Trazendo referências da música latina, do r&b, elétrica e entre outras, "Rare" é um impressionante capítulo da vida da artista.

    This album is all about self-growth and self-love. We’ve all had things we’ve had to overcome. The pain that comes with that journey is a universal thing but when we can rise from the ashes and fly again that is a beautiful thing. I love the throwback to several genres this album surprises you with. I will be listening to it all year long and can’t wait to hear more from Miss Gomez!

    Rare is a sublime piece of art with experimental, breathy and ethnic pop sounds, definitely not appropriate for mainstream ears. Take a ride into the deepness of Selena's best project to date.

    Selena mostrou para o que veio em seu novo álbum, sem se vitimizar, a cantora cobre de elogios a si mesma o que mostra um amadurecimento analisando o álbum anterior da cantora, aonde ela chorava por seu relacionamento conturbado. A artista cresceu e está moldando sua carreira através deste álbum.

When it came out i didn't like any songs but the singles, that are just perfect, but i listened to it yesterday and i like it SO MUCH. Souvenir is the best track for sure, it deserves to be a single so bad, i can't believe i didn't like it.

    This is her best album she put all her heart into it and it gives her different emotions.

    This is Selena's best album so far. Though I wish there was something new to her vocals rather than just her typical soft voice, but I think she did very well with this album. I am impressed.

    HER BEST ALBUM ! Absolute masterpiece. all of the songs are unique and beautiful. From the confident boosting bops such as let me get me, look at her now, and ring, to the beautiful ballads and slower songs such as lose you to love me and vulnerable, she really outdid herself with vocals, lyrics and meaning, production and the music. a true work of art, powerful and reflecting her life.

A SWEETER PLACE is the most beautiful song to conclude the album. I could not recommend enough.… 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.
