    It sounds like a angel of 1990s
    I can’t believe today happened. The album is out. The songs are amazing. Selena celebrated with us. More coming tomorrow. More coming next week. My heart is full.
    when Selena Gomez said “what hurts the most is people can go from people you know to people you don't” I Fk FELT THAT selena looked kinda shocked and pissed when she heard stans singing cut you off

    All of #SelenaGomez songs for her #Rare album on her YouTube channel have surpassed the 100K mark (excluding LYTLM & LAHN since they have their own music video)

    Keep watching the videos so they can gain views / streams. It’s helping count towards the Hot 100

    I’ve never had an album like this before, that’s what makes it indeed rare. It‘a such a fun album and shows a side of Gomez we’ve never seen before. She’s vulnerable, confident and sexy. She’s ready to tell her story to the world and does it the most amazing way. It’s experimental and not a generic album, it’s really good! Listen to it! You won’t regret i promise.

At this time this album has went number #1 on iTunes, in 70 different countries, which means that this album has went number 1 in more countries, than the album 'Thank You Next', by Ariana Grande did, meaning that only one of Ariana's albums sold in more countries. She is also breaking many other records. Selena's song making and writing talents have grown, her voice has improved some as well, and it shows in this album. A tiny bit of Ariana's fans underestimated Selena's ability to sell, to make and to sing music. One does not need a powerful voice to sound great singing, or to please people with music. Not that Ariana uses her voice to it's full potential a lot of the time anyway, and her fan's still love hearing her sing regardless! Selena put 4 years of very hard work in to this album as well, she has even signed 20,000 to 30,000 autographed cd booklets for this album, she treats all of her fans like they are special, she has earned a lot of respect, more respect than some people will ever be willing to give her!

    This is hands down her best piece of work. The first album where I can confidently say there are no skips. Every song is a little masterpiece of its own. It’s obvious that she’s matured a lot since her previous album, you can see it in the lyrics (which she co-wrote) and the melodies. I also really love her voice here. All in all, a wonderful, well-rounded album.

    By far the best album she has ever released. Every song has a different meaning and the melodies and the beats are catchy but yet soft. I love every single one of the songs. If not the only one album, sure one of the few that I love every song, I can't skip not even one. After 4 years she has paid so much attention to every detail and this album is a masterpiece.
