    I'm pretty harsh when it comes to lyrics and when i came across "boyfriend" i was like ??? it had so much potential to be good lyrically. 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.

    Some songs are catchy and good but they lack spice. That's the case with Kinda Crazy, Feel me and Vulnerable. Sweeter Place is just bad

    Rare is a pretty good solid album and Selena did it well this time too. It has not just bops or banger tracks but it's more like a kinda "mid-tempo" album in its wholeness. And I must say, I like it. The theme of the album is finding out how important we are and don't let others try to make us feel bad. As for revival, Selena manages to put dance, pop, and latin-influenced music all in oneRare is a pretty good solid album and Selena did it well this time too.

    I expected more from Ms. Gomez considering that this was supposed to be her comeback album after a 5 year hiatus. Gomez’s 3rd LP is arguably one of her worst works.

I think her voice is soothing and mellow , each song had a different meaning , and a different vibe to it , ring gave you confidence and in my opinion it’s the best song there , rare makes you feel amazing it makes you feel better about your body and who you are , dance again makes you want to stand and dance in any way you want it makes you feel free from chains , vulnerable and people you know are the most vulnerable songs there beautiful too , cut you off helps you get over a break up ( ring too ) one of my favorites is souvenir, it tells a beautiful story and it has amazing rhythm, vocals if she makes it a single it would be one of the best songs.

    Selena Gomez's newest LP, "Rare", is nothing new, but it's addictive. The lyrics are meaningful and the songs are very catchy. The production is well done. I can truly agree it's one of her best albums. I would love to see her tackle something new in the future. But, for now, we have "Rare" to bop to.

    After waiting 4 years for an album after revival. There was a lot of pressure on Selena to release an album worth the wait. This album isn’t like most other pop albums. Selena not only experiments with her sound, she does a good job with it. Highlights of this album are Cut you off, sweeter place ft. Kid Cudi, and Ring.

    The album Rare by Selena Gomez is the Most REAL album I have ever heard. It portraits REAL life experiences, REAL emotions, and REAL life topics/ events such as depression, finding happiness, letting go, self-worth, and heartbreak.

    El trabajo más sólido de Gómez, expresa muy bien sus emociones en las canciones. La lírica es muy buena, su voz es también algo a destacar en el álbum, pero algunas canciones se sienten planas, no se siente como si tuvieran un clímax.

    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.
