    This Album is amazing, maybe the best album of Selena Gomez, it looks that she worked so hard after 4 years of non music, all her 13 song are Pop and they are so beautiful songs, The best song is Loose you to love me.

    I waited almost 5 years for this album and what I can say is that every moment was worth it, Rare is perfect, since Revival came out in 2015 Selena grew musically in terms of her lyrics and her style and tells her story in these 13 songs.

    Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    I'm really proud of the woman she's getting around, and brought an album certainly with her soul and all love. The sound is so hot to hear, and her totally pure vocals that tends to be the voice of an angel. The album is totally cohesive and the way it proposed all these years. To say that this is a generic, it's certainly lying to yourself.

    It's the best album of her. I know it's fully autotuned but still I love it. And the tracks are unique.

    Un álbum demasiado poderoso, lleno de canciones completas, Se ve que Gómez trabajó arduamente por años en este material y la verdad es que ninguna canción decepciona, un álbum muy completo departe suya, mostrando si mejor trabajo y callando bocas

    É o tipo de álbum que você consegue tomar para si. Você se identifica e espera trilhar o mesmo caminho de amor próprio de Selena.

    This album is Selenas best work. She sounds confident, strong and better than ever. Every song has a different feel and the album feels cohesive from start to finish. And the collaborations with 6lack and Kid Cudy are amazing. Its only 2020 but this is definitely going to be one of the top albums of the decade. I cannot recommend it enough

    So different than what we usually hear from mainstream artist. Features are rightly used and not just for chart purpose. Definitely worth a Buy.

    Selena Gomez really took her time with her music and now you know why. There are so many different songs and they have all hidden meanings. The melodies are so good and versatile and then the lyrics hit you. You need to listen a few times to get it and every time you play you can feel what she has felt. It’s emotional, funny, sexy and it makes you want to dance.

    I’m not the biggest fan of pop music in general, but this album is gold! Almost every track on it is a banger, the production is just wow. Also Selena’s lyrical content has improved a lot since her last album Revival, and for me this album tops the last one to be honest.

    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.
