    Generic album with edm beats that are never innovative. / Ring sounds like a canned latin song made by Camilla Cabello in previous years, I haven't seen any artistic growth.

    There is nothing special about this album, the order of the songs and the songs themselves are poor. I was expecting something extraordinary but the "rare" is not really rare, it is usual. The auto-tune is terrible.

    Para um álbum intitulado "Raro", essas músicas são surpreendentemente comuns, rasas e fracas.

    Um álbum básico. Com a sensação de que estou ouvindo a mesma música do início ao fim, Selena Gomez prova mais uma vez o que pensam sobre sua versatilidade: ela é inexistente.

Aproveitando o marketing nojento de seu álbum, no qual em meio ao casamento do seu ex casado ela lança uma música chorando sobre ele, ela usa a superação como forma de válvula de escape para fingir algo que não aconteceu. Perto fos 30, todos esperavam algo maduro, mas a sensação que passa é que ela nunca saiu de 2013, com faixas parecidas com o Star Dance e outras músicas muito pareciras com Bad Liar. A verdade é que já passou da hora de crescer e inovar, porém ela se prese a uma sonoridade linear e que não surpreende em nada. Falta emoção, falta inovação, e é explícito que sua voz sem edição é fraca e muito longe de ser uma cantora de verdade, estando nessa indústria apenas pela conveniência e por aproveitar as polêmicas em torno de seu relacionamento passado.… Expand

    O álbum não possui nada de novo, isso é um FATO. Rare, que possui mais compositores que "We are you world" - Michael Jackson, não se desenvolve como o prometido. Os singles 'Lose you to love me' e 'Look at her now' fazem sim certo sentido ao que ela quer dizer, mas o resto das faixas são COMPLETAMENTE SEM NEXOS E DESCARTÁVEIS e que não mostram o 'amor próprio' dito pelos singles.

Kinda Crazy, por exemplo, é ÓTIMA se fosse pra 'Romance' ou 'Lover' e não para um álbum de auto-aceitação. Tirando isso também temos uma participação da Bebe Rexha em 'Vulnerable', mostrando que nem a própria cantora tem a segurança de elevar a música (que de certo, nem chegam perto da originalidade e são bem sonolentas).
    Outro contexto que não favoreceu é que não é COESO na sequência de faixas. Qual é o nexo de botar 1, 2 músicas sobre auto-aceitação pra depois ter 9, 11 músicas para relembrar que ainda sente falta do cara que ela tanto fala? NENHUMA.

    selena, infelizmente, decepciona mais uma vez. a "obra de arte" - que mais parece uma falha tentativa de se destacar numa indústria que se paga de moldável, mas nunca troca a fórmula - erra do início ao fim com composições cansadas, vocais desequilibrados e um claro sinal do quão gomez não é capaz de tolerar o mercado atual. se não soubesse que era um ~~~~~~álbum~~~~~, talvez pensasse queselena, infelizmente, decepciona mais uma vez. a "obra de arte" - que mais parece uma falha tentativa de se destacar numa indústria que se paga de moldável, mas nunca troca a fórmula - erra do início ao fim com composições cansadas, vocais desequilibrados e um claro sinal do quão gomez não é capaz de tolerar o mercado atual. se não soubesse que era um ~~~~~~álbum~~~~~, talvez pensasse que a primeira trombeta do apocalipse foi tocada. ;D… Expand

    all the tracks look alike and the beats are no big deal. pure trash
    There is no way to hear the whole album one more time. I would only save 'rare' which is interesting but in the end, neither did she write and / or produce. what a pity

    Basic!! Most boring and repetitive sound ever. Definitely didn’t top Revival. She is going to have success but doesn’t deserve. She took 4 years to create this mess? Wow... disappointed but not surprised.

    I’m so underwhelmed, waited four years just for her to release this generic garbage. i’m seriously unstanning and becoming a full time Taylor stan.

    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.
