    Such a great album. Her best one ever. Vocals, production and lyrics are incredible. So proud of her and how hard she worked on this. It’s so so good. SHE IS RARE. She’s earned this so much, four years was worth the wait.

    Selena’s long-anticipated third solo album reminds fans why they fell in love with Ms. Gomez long ago. SG’s first 2 releases off Rare are just too catchy to skip, when listening to the full length album. Yes they’ve been played through many times before the release of Rare, but the cohesiveness of the entire album plays too well together to miss any tracks in the lineup. First up though isSelena’s long-anticipated third solo album reminds fans why they fell in love with Ms. Gomez long ago. SG’s first 2 releases off Rare are just too catchy to skip, when listening to the full length album. Yes they’ve been played through many times before the release of Rare, but the cohesiveness of the entire album plays too well together to miss any tracks in the lineup. First up though is the titled attraction, moving from the lyrics questioning why they’re settling for someone who doesn’t appreciate their quality to skipping right along to the next Prince Charming out there. Secondly Dance again in the anthem for every broken soul who was trapped in some sort of toxic relationship, friendship, or even lack of self-confidence. Tracks 3 and 4 herald the albums theme of self-sufficient and picking up the broken pieces of your heart and fixing it you own d*mb self. Ring enters into the track list with an equal amount of humility, of confidence and beauty’- which is admittedly hard to find these days from someone who deserves to claim that title. Vulnerable checks the gossip and the haters, letting people know that staying true to yourself in this mixed up world of drama.. People You Know takes a simple concept of sadness of a lost friendship to a catchy rhythm. Let Me Get Me keeps up there ongoing theme of breaking free and and following your own path and destiny. Crowded Room is the spark of a deserved prize of finding yourself and finding someone who finally appreciates the real you- dare I say love. Kinda Crazy brings us back to the gaslighting from the original problem character themselves, a call back to the earlier tracks on this album, and even a few singles Gomez has released over the last couple years. But don’t be mistaken- she is over it and it looks like she wants them to know it. Fun circle back to the catchy sweetness of a girl who is free to experiment and find her own way through simply having something not-so-serious. Hopefully more than once. cut youOff is the proof that the tea is still hot and we are ready for the lyrics like “How could I confuse that sh*t for love?” Amen sister! A Sweeter Place is anywhere but here and with anyone but the toxic people we just Cut Off. And I hope it’s Fun.… Expand

    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.
