    Pop Perfection. Whose doing it like her? No one else can even compare. Her music is on another level. The evolution of music is this. Just like revival I expect people jumping on to try and do this. Congrats Selena you took your time and created something magical!

    Her best album to date. Each song sounds unique in its own way but, they manage to come together to form a cohesive album. This album gets better with each listen. It truly shows Selena growth as an artist and not a single song needs to be skipped.

    Se nota la madurez de Gomez en su máxima expresión. Desde el inicio hasta el final podemos notar un gran crecimiento en su lírica y producción y su voz haciendo complemento con melodías distintas. Perfecto para empezar una era nueva.

    One of the worst albums I have heard in my life tbh. I don't know what I expected, she never been a great artist but this is even worse than I thought.

    She failed miserably to deliver the message of this album. For an album called "rare" the tracks doesn't correlate very much with the title. Definitely NOT Worth The listen.

    this album is so good for the comeback but nothing more than Revival. have so many songs than sound like the same but a little inovator (for her). whatever, its so good to see your growth.

    Hi. I'll probably get hate for this but here we go... "Rare" is a good pop album. It has its ups but it also has its downs. There are songs powerful with strong lyrics about Gomez's life (i know she had some troubles even though im not a big fan) while other songs are the most basic radio pop you'll ever hear.

    Até a sexta faixa do álbum tudo corria razoavelmente bem. Depois me senti cansado. Muito repetição, algumas letras fracas. Abusou dos hummm, ahhhh, ohhhh. Não é um grande álbum, mas tbm não é péssimo. Se fosse um EP com apenas as 6 primeiras faixas, seria melhor!

    - All the songs sound the same
    - Ring is a stolen song from the french song "Derniere danse"
    - In many songs we can really hear the autotune which is really sad especially when you talk about personnal things
    - The album is like always about Justin Bieber
    I feel like she could have done so much better especially after 4 years working on it... it's really sad

There is also a difference between a cohesive album and an album that where every song sounds similar with the vocal range and production. This sounds like an album that tried to be cohesive but it fell flat because each song does not have any diversity compared to the rest. Also, learning that a lot of these songs are rejects from other artists makes the album less genuine and authentic because it didn't come from Selena herself.

    For a personal album, she talks a lot about Justin in this one specially the lead single. Selena can pretend to be unbothered, but she is bothered by the fact that Justin married, and she can’t use him anymore in the future for clout.

Aproveitando o marketing nojento de seu álbum, no qual em meio ao casamento do seu ex casado ela lança uma música chorando sobre ele, ela usa a superação como forma de válvula de escape para fingir algo que não aconteceu. Perto fos 30, todos esperavam algo maduro, mas a sensação que passa é que ela nunca saiu de 2013, com faixas parecidas com o Star Dance e outras músicas muito pareciras com Bad Liar. A verdade é que já passou da hora de crescer e inovar, porém ela se prese a uma sonoridade linear e que não surpreende em nada. Falta emoção, falta inovação, e é explícito que sua voz sem edição é fraca e muito longe de ser uma cantora de verdade, estando nessa indústria apenas pela conveniência e por aproveitar as polêmicas em torno de seu relacionamento passado.

    Superficial e sem coerência. Um álbum sem nenhuma emoção, o que é comum na indústria mas, algo inesperado já que é taxado como o trabalho mais pessoal da carreira da Selena.

    This album is a pure dumpster fire. Boring, repetitive and bland tracks have been the norm from Selena and yet again we see this on RARE. She can't seem to evolve her music and move forward from her Disney era, in some cases it feels like a step back from her other albums and I cannot understand how it took just over 4 years to make this album.

    I'm sorry but all songs of this album sounds exactly the same and I feel like every one of them is a rejected work from another project. I saw some fans of miss Gomez that were so hyped up but... all that... for this. Doesn't feel right.

    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.
