    One of the best albums released this year. Very underrated and overlooked album by the gp, which is unfortunate because of how good it is. Had Selena and her team paid a little more attention to promoting it could be a lot bigger than it already is.

    After 5 years Miss Gomez gave us this Perfect album. All track are bop and no skips. Dance Again, Rare (song) and Lose u to love me are very powerful. I hope that she’ll give us in another album sounds like Rare/Revival. Love u Selena from bottom of my Heart.

It has NO SKIPS, including the Deluxe version! Some of the highlights include Boyfriend, Lose You To Love Me, Rare, Souvenir, Look At Her Now, Crowded Room (feat. 6LACK), Vulnerable, A Sweeter Place (feat. Kid Cudi), and Feel Me. (Or maybe even just the whole damn track list, ALL 17 songs lol). It is Selena’s best body of work and her voice sounds angelic! You can tell she really took her time to make this album the best she possibly could and she shows a lot of artistic growth. The album feels very cohesive as a whole even though no 2 songs sound the same and she explores different genres throughout the album. The production, lyrics, and vocals are all AMAZING and make this album very special and RARE!! … Expand

Luego de 4 años de tantos altos y bajos desde su última producción "Revival", a sus 27 años, Gomez ha logrado superarse y atraverse ha cosas que no habría hecho antes. "Rare", sin duda, es uno de los mejores albumes de los últimos tiempos que ,estoy seguro, no sólo logró gran éxito comercial tras debutar en la cima del Billboard 200, sino que es simplemente una pieza maestra de la música, que conserva una fragilidad y delicadeza a pesar del viaje y la historia detrás del mismo que, por sí solo, muestra las diferentes facetas de una persona con una fortaleza y claridad que es difícil encontrar actualmente, este es sin duda un gran respiro de la tendencia actual, pues en vez de usar conceptos modernos que fastidian los oídos, Selena decidió conquistar hablando sobre sí misma, cosa que ha resultado excelente para estar identificado y sentirse como uno en un millón. El album comienza con el sencillo que titula al mismo, un canto de amor propio que termina por cautivar con la filosofía de ser único y excepcional aunque nadie lo vea. El segundo en la lista, Dance Again es un baile disco-pop pegadizo que nos invita a seguirlo con una melodía inconfundible. Look At Her Now es himno icónico de feminismo y poder, cien por ciento bailable, que recuerda que siempre se puede subir desde el fondo aún con todo en contra. Obviamente no se puede olvidar al número 1 en el Billboard Hot 100, Lose You To Love Me, una balada hecha obra de arte sobre una relación amorosa a la que por fin se le dice adiós. Respecto a las demás pistas. En Ring, la palabra misma pierde el significado a lo largo de la letra y música, impregnadas del ritmo latino como su hermana, Let Me Get Me que es inconfundible por su acentuada letra y acústica de baile movido. Obviamente no se pueden terminar de resaltar cada canción, Cut You Off, fue uno de los muchos cambios en la música de Gomez al incluir la guitarra eléctrica y transformarlo en una pista agradable aunque simple. Kinda Crazy experimenta con la trompeta y un gran brillo tecnológico junto a otros instrumentos, lo mismo que Fun, sin trompeta pero divertida y fresca. People You Know es simple, con letra y ritmo interesantes que funciona al crear una melodía única y seria. Crowded Room funciona como la introducción de Gomez al R&B mostrando un buen comienzo que se complementa con la voz de 6lack siendo la primera colaboración del disco. A Sweteer Place es Gomez en su estilo alternativo más oscuro y profundo emocionalmente de la mano de Kid Cudi, convirtiendo a la canción en la segunda colaoración. Vulnerable es la mejor de las pistas, son los temores mismos de Gomez presentados en un bella canción, con una melodía celestial y una letra que penetra como cuchillo, siendo única, emotiva, fresca y hermosamente una maestría musical subestimada. Finalmente sobra decir que Gomez tomó todo su ser, y lo volvió un disco personal que te llega al corazón y con el que te puedes identificar. Rare es el album del año.… Expand

    2.Dance Again 8/10: Essa faixa certamente fala sobre momentos difíceis da vida de Selena, e também sobre seu recomeço onde ela se vê com novos sentimentos e mais experiente, finalmente se sente bem para dançar novamente.

    3.Look At Her Now 9/10: Essa música nos leva um pouco de volta a faixa rare, onde temos Selena sofrendo por algum tempo, novamente por um grande amor, mas poxa olhe ela agora.

    4.Lose You To Love Me 10/10: Aqui vemos Selena novamente se remoendo por um amor não correspondido, mas tentando se reerguer, conseguindo abrir mão de uma pessoa que amava, para se amar.

    5.Ring 3/10: Finalmente temos os papeis invertidos e vemos uma Selena totalmente diferente do começo do álbum, onde dessa vez quem estava com o coração partido está partindo o coração de multidões.

    6.Vulnerable 7/10: Na faixa vemos Selena se abrindo e se mostrando da forma mais pura para seu amor, questiona se ele seria capaz de aceitar e capaz de passar por toda essa confusão por seu amor.

    7.People You Know 9/10: Nessa faixa vemos uma Selena ressentida, como se seu grande amor, que já foi a pessoa que ela tanto amou, e tanto foi intima hoje é alguém que ela não conhece.

    8.Let Me Get Me 9/10: Vemos Selena em um momento em que cansou de sofrer como nas músicas anteriores, desligando seus sentimentos por uma noite e se permitindo ser feliz, depois de tudo que foi retratado nas músicas anteriores.

    9.Crowded Room 8/10: Selena se mostra apaixonada nessa faixa, tendo apenas olhos para seu amado, mesmo com tanta outra pessoa ao seu lado, e quando 6LACK começa a cantar vemos que finalmente o amor de Selena foi correspondido.

    10.Kinda Crazy 7/10: Vemos Selena abrindo seus olhos para um amor que já não está mais como era antes, e podemos sentir também sua frustração com esse amor, pois não foi ela quem deu o primeiro passo.

    11.Fun 7/10: Retrata nessa musica uma paixão ou um amor, não conseguimos entender bem, mas algo que é divertido algo leve, que faz bem.

    12.Cut You Off 10/10: Essa música retrata bem o álbum todo, pois Selena chega ao seu momento de revolta onde se vê necessitada de cortar esse amor toxico fora.

    13.A Sweeter Place 10/10: Vemos aqui a evolução de Selena onde ela retrata que acordou e finalmente está sentindo suas emoções como devem ser, ela passa uma paz nessa música, onde encerra o álbum mostrando que está melhor que nunca e com sua vida e com sigo mesma.    … Expand

    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.

    This is Selena's best album so far. Though I wish there was something new to her vocals rather than just her typical soft voice, but I think she did very well with this album. I am impressed.

    Es un momento interesante para las cantantes de Pop, pues entre Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Taylor Swift y otras mujeres de la industria, Selena Gomez no se queda atrás en dar su propia visión del genero. "Rare" no es perfecto y mucho menos trascendental, pero con letras romantizadas y más de 20 productores en los que destacan Mattman & Robin, Jon Bellion y The Monsters &    ( 76/100 )

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this album broke all the expectations we had about Selena, it is an album with spectacular sounds and lyrics, without neglecting the prominence that Gomez has in each song with his particular voice. It is a new Selena, it is a definitely different era and since Revival, she is renewing with her music and proving that she is one of the greatest pop singers of the moment. He achieved her first number one with "Lose You To Love Me", a song in which she left her heart. She is a big one.… Expand

    Selena has evolved in terms of her musical career, this album has great melodies with lyrics that tell a story, something new in Miss Gomez, perhaps the best album of her career fighting with her predecessor, "Revival".

    She did THAT. Every time she comes back stronger, better & with way more maturity in her songs. I’m so proud of her. Rare is beautiful. Rare makes you feel beautiful.

    Her best album till date. Selena found her sound on this record. 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.

    An amazing album. Revival is still my favorite body of work from her, but this album really showed off her experimental side. The lyrical content and honesty along with the diverse production makes it a truly iconic album.

    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.
