    Rare is Selena's best album by date. With songs that capture the essence of heartbreak, betrayl, and self-love, Selena Gomez gave her audience an in-depth look of her healing journey. The album's best songs include a tender ballad, an upbeat pop track, and a sweet pop number.

    almost a year after the release of this album. all i have to say is that Rare remains Album Of The Year. From the lyrics to the sounds to the vocals to the emotions, Selena Gomez managed to drop a very coohesive album that you can listen to daily and not get bored of. This is an amazing example of what a pop albulm is supposed to be.

    Rare is a new sound for Selena, it has a truly heartfelt theme diving into many relevant topics in a relationship. However, Selena’s voice is not my favourite, showing little vocal skill. The rare visuals make up for it giving it a solid 6 rating.

    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.
