    it seems like everyone was expecting a Selena Gómez' ordinary album. But the album's name says it everything: it is a rare piece in which she is exploring more delightful rythms, not only Basic pop Beats. The more complex lyrics are magnificents since they reflect the beautifulness of struggling and overpass emocional affections.

    The "Rare" album was quite kinda different from her past albums. Her first Billboard 100, "Lose You To Love Me." have good lyrics. In my opinion, some boring songs are "Sweeter Place," "Cut You Off," and "Fun." I wish I could like these, but I don't know I can't. But I like some of the songs like "Look At Her Now," "Vulnerable," and "Rare." This album is graceful and beautiful. And theThe "Rare" album was quite kinda different from her past albums.

    Para esse álbum ser considerado ruim, ainda teria que melhorar muito.
    Como diria Pitchfork: "Para um álbum intitulado Rare, essas músicas são surpreendentemente comuns."
    Selena, mais uma vez, nos entrega mais do mesmo, sem inovação nenhuma. O resultado disso é constatado em sua carreira, frequentemente ultrapassada por artistas novatos.

    Selena Gomez proves once again that her "main pop girl" status is deserved and not only can she sing, write, and produce but Gomez is able to have more success even 10+ years into her career. Despite not being as powerful as her previous album, "Revival", Gomez adds that this album is her most personal work to date and I couldn't agree more.

Despite not being as powerful as her previous album, "Revival", Gomez adds that this album is her most personal work to date and I couldn't agree more. Prior to writing this review, I gave Revival and Rare a re-listen and I have come to a general consensus. Rare (Deluxe) has 0 songs I would skip, each piece of art is somewhat of a masterpiece in a way. "Lose You To Love Me" the lead single became Gomez's first ever number one song on the billboard hot 100, and was deservedly so! This song opens up on a past toxic relationship, one where she was emotionally, physically, and verbally abused. This song is serious & touching, but is able to also show aspects of her cheeky side with cunning lyrics such as "Sang off key in my chorus, cus' it wasn't yours" Or honest lyrics like "Rose color glasses all distorted" LYTLM has amassed nearly one billion streams on Spotify and is definitely the best song on this album. An underrated bop on this album is titled "Souvenir" and with lyrics like "Swimming in your eyes, in your eyes In your eyes, Egyptian blue Something I've never had without you" we catch a glimpse of how Selena felt within her life. Other songs like "Ring", "Fun", and "She" come off more silly rather than sophisticated, but this entire album compared to Revival is a lot more fun and less adult. I don't believe she sounds like how she did in her Disney days with the Scene, but compared to Revival she takes the back seat rather than driving further into adult hood. Despite being more dance and bubble gum pop, compared to revival's electro/r&b flair I do still believe this album is the best of 2020! I recommended to all who love Pop, and who understand the struggles of being used, or loving someone too much. As well as being in a place where you are not okay, and although you haven't admitted it to yourself you have the backbone you need to receive support and love, in which you absolutely deserve!… Expand

Nothing on this album sounds like it belongs to Selena and Selena alone - feeling like any one of 15 other female popstars could have easily cut and sealed the track.

    Rare is a new perspective of Gomez's music career. It's a proof she's on her way to find own style. Each song is unique even that most of them are kept in pop-catchy vibe. Production's very clever and very good! What's more Selena gave us a beautiful lyrics to each track and while they also are very diffrent, it's easy to hear they are parts of Rare album.
