    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.

    Really good album with great songs and lyrics, no doubt. But some of these are generic and in the end i do not find this album memorial. I feel like there was something missing. Something where i can say „wow“

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall a solid pop album that tells the journey of a girl who grew and matured after overcoming heartbreak. The biggest let down for me was the lack of variety in sound - she could have explored other genres and still have a cohesive piece of work. Nevertheless it's an easy listen...just nothing overly memorable.… Expand

    Скучный монотонный альбом. 13 совершенно не отличающихся друг от друга песен про одного и того же человека. Ни одну из них не хочется слушать ещё раз, ни под одну из них не хочется начать танцевать, ни под одну из них не хочется грустить.

    This is what I’ve been waiting for. Not only as someone who appreciates her work but as a pop music enthusiast. Her best work HANDS down! I love how she tries to experiment new sounds but it still has that "thing" that is proper to her. Seriously, no skips at all. And what i appreciate the most is that there are songs for every mood you’re in. 10/10, perfect.

It's really rare to see pop stars who came from kids shows on Disney or Nickelodeon evolve this much in each project, and Gomez did it so perfectly. By far, her best, her most cohesive, most vulnerable, honest, fun body of work. Anyone who wants to kick off the world of trap music and generics sounds should check this out.

    For a personal album, she talks a lot about Justin in this one specially the lead single. Selena can pretend to be unbothered, but she is bothered by the fact that Justin married, and she can’t use him anymore in the future for clout.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a bit disappointing. The album could have done without the songs "Look at Her Now" "Let Me Get Me" "Ring"and "Fun". The other songs are amazingly well written, unfortunately the tone of the album is all over the place. Even though every song is executed well. My biggest complaint of all is on her song " A Sweeter Place" It really makes Kid Cudi sound like he is doing all the work. Selena's voice sounds flat and lacks emotion. That being said the song itself is very well done. It just really seems like she didn't even want to sing the song. She sounds uncomfortable and it affects the overall message. I also think Selena should stick with her more sultry persona. The contemporary artist just doesn't work as well.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i waited a while to rate this album bc it wanted to give it some time to process with me. basically its a pathetic attempt at recreating her best work from 2017. it aged like milk and all the songs sound the same. but excluding the way it sounded, for her “most personal album yet” but fails to include any personal or in depth lyrics except for two songs that mention bieber. zero individuality in the album and sounds like it could of been made by anyone. that’s definitely one of selenas biggest flaws in her music, she never truly creates a song about her but that’s probably bc she doesnt write them… Expand

    Rare, truth, vunerable. This is the Selena's best album. "Revival" album be proud of that.

    No es su peor álbum pero el marketing que hizo con el le da muy mala reputación, no tiene mucha profundidad su voz,muy neutra

    Most of the songs, I wouldn’t listen to and I think Selena barely promoted the album and seems to have stopped caring about it. I’m giving this a good score because OVERALL it’s satisfactory.

    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.
