    I am obsessed with this album!! I feel like Selena always has such raw emotion in her voice as she sings, and it really helps me connect with her music. This album was worth the wait, and for me there wasn’t one song I didn’t like!!

    I really loved this album, I've been a selenator since 2014 when she released "the heart wants what it wants". Every single song is a bop,my favorites are vulnerable, dance again and cut you off. She puts her emotions and feelings in this project and she worked so hard to do this. Love her and her music.

    The whole project gives bad girl vibes. The sounds are rare. The production is rare. Selena's voice is rare! And I LOVE IT. LYTLM is a masterpiece; a song that creates such deep emotions and I bet many cried while listening to the ROTY. Crowded room is such a cute song.

    A cohesive, perfectly-produced comeback album after a nearly five-year hiatus, Selena Gomez’s “Rare” (and more specifically, the deluxe edition) is a body of work that, like Revival, will age like a fine wine over time.

    Rare is one of the best album in Selena’s career, musically it is very uplifting and a few songs makes me feel sassy like Ring for example. A few songs makes me feel want to dance. My fave song from the album is boyfriend it’s just sassy to me and really groovy, the lyrics is great but the beat is what makes it a true masterpiece.

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.
