    Good album. This album has dedication, creativity and love. Awesome album about moving on after a heartbreak, lose you to love me is a great song. It's awesome and Selena really worked hard on this album. Yes, it is mainstream but her voice and meaning of the songs dont make it that bad, would love if this album had more different songs since 80% of it is about heartbreak but still great.

    Rare is an album that defiantly looks forward and is rooted in positivity. Not one to wallow, Gomez would prefer to dance away her heartache. The result is a collection that offers a perfectly balanced mix of exuberant bangers, like the sashaying carefree ebullience of Dance Again, mixed with down tempo slow jams like Kinda Crazy that offer numerous subtle and compelling melodic twists and turns.

    Selena Gomez is an artist who has been through so much: starting off at a very young age, some heavily scrutinized on/off relationships, a lupus diagnosis leading to a kidney transplant, etc... and even though her really good 2015 album had a title that fit it so perfectly, it feels like "Rare", 4 years later, is her true revival.

    Over the course of 13 songs (all of which she obviously    Selena Gomez is an artist who has been through so much: starting off at a very young age, some heavily scrutinized on/off relationships, a lupus diagnosis leading to a kidney transplant, etc... and even though her really good 2015 album had a title that fit it so perfectly, it feels like "Rare", 4 years later, is her true revival.

    Over the course of 13 songs (all of which she obviously co-wrote), Gomez sounds like she is finally in control of her creative process and her craft. Saying this doesn't go in the sense that every song on here is flawless, the album has its forgettable moments of course, but its strong moments truly take off and win. The choice of singles is excellent: 'Lose You to Love Me' may have been one of the best, if not the best, comeback of 2019, and 'Look At Her Now', an enjoyable song about self-worth, turns out to be very fitting in the context of the record.

    The other moments where she truly shines are the ones on which she does things she wouldn't usually do: 'Ring' is probably the sassiest, most attitude-filled song Gomez has ever put out, 'Crowded Room' finds her singing with a flawless falsetto, and she even goes a bit alternative on 'Cut You Off', with a non-chalant delivery and a gorgeous instrumental bridge. However, some other songs fall short, either feeling like fillers ('Fun'), or just being repetitive/nothing new as the album progresses ('Kinda Crazy', 'People You Know').

    "Rare" is a really good pop record, and it is definitely a step in the right direction for Gomez.    … Expand

    I was so hopeful for Selena's new album, but I think that the result kind of disappointed me. I could not say of course that Rare is a bad album or that it is one of Gomez's mediocre or bad ones, but it potentially could be a great album. I really loved "Lose You to Love Me" and "Dance Again", giving credit to Julia Michaels as a songwriter and FINNEAS as a producer on the first one.I was so hopeful for Selena's new album, but I think that the result kind of disappointed me.

    This album SCREAMS Selena Gomez from start to finish! Every track shows Selena’s growth as an artist but is also undoubtedly hers, her spirit and personality really shine through in this incredible body of work that gets better after every listen.

    Rare is so far Selena's most cohesive album and the wait was definitely worth it.
    It's pop perfection with full of emotions and different sounds. It's definitely her best album.

    “Rare” is an epic and necessary album for those who suffer with self-esteem. A refreshing, empowering and yet, vulnerable pop manifesto, which combines into different genres and experimental sounds for Gomez’s discography until this date. From the post-disco “Dance Again”, to the emotional-dance orientated tracks, such as “Vulnerable” and “People You Know”, to the classic 2000s R&B“Rare” is an epic and necessary album for those who suffer with self-esteem. A refreshing, empowering and yet, vulnerable pop manifesto, which combines into different genres and experimental sounds for Gomez’s discography until this date. From the post-disco “Dance Again”, to the emotional-dance orientated tracks, such as “Vulnerable” and “People You Know”, to the classic 2000s R&B “Crowded Room”, this body of work finally comes together on experimental tracks like “Let Me Get Me”, “Fun”, “Cut You Off” and “A Sweeter Place” – the last one features Kid Cudi. It’s safe to say that Selena Gomez’s “Rare” is a more mature album than her last “Revival” and a more personal inside than the tracks she has been releasing since 2017. Gomez’s shows us that she is coming to place when it comes to music and self-love. A great album, with great lyrical content and an overwhelming, exciting and colorful production.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Faz alguns meses que ela lançou, e esse album não "envelheceu" bem (tem poucos meses. é novo ainda, mas é dificil acreditar que tenha sido lançado em 2020). As músicas são boas, mas nada impressiona. Se ela tentava mostrar uma evolução entre seu primeiro album pro Rare, não ficou muito evidente, mas pode ser que tenha acontecido.… Expand

    It mixed a 80s and latina's vibe. A increible return and she has everything to go forward. Just...awesome!

    If on Revival Selena tried different directions with her music, on rare she chose one and went for it. It’s honest and explicitly vulnerable, something that seemed to scare Selena on her past works, now she recognizes it as her biggest strength. Great album.

    Rare is very expressive with songs that make you feel all kinds of feelings. Rhythms that make us dance but with reflecting lyrics. It’s all about self-love, self-confidence and empowering, a great way to follow revival’s path. Definitely a great pop album.

    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.
