    Album maduro, veio para consagrar a carreira de Selena. Logo, logo, a sucessora de Britney Spears terá sua vez como princesa do pop. Gomez conseguir colocar toda uma história em apenas um album e senti que ela desabafou e mostrou seu verdadeiro eu. Muito orgulhoso estou dessa mulher, como seu fã e como pessoa. Ela veio para ficar desde sempre!

    Revival is simply the best of Selena, she clearly putted her heart and soul on this album, her evolution as an artist is breathtaking and surprising. The album has a soft sexiness that is really comfortable and good to feel, her latin traces was explored on the best way and it sounds perfect. A work of art, an amazing job, a revival as an artist.

    Selena trouxe uma pegada mexicana e alguns trechos em espanhol, como foi mostrado nas faixas ´´Me & My Girls`` e ´´Outta My Hands (Loco)`` por exemplo, o que foi importante para a construção cultural do álbum.

A cantora abordou vários temas em suas letras, e em ´´Kill 'em With Kindness`` passou uma importante mensagem de paz para o mundo. Selena pode não ter os melhores vocais e ainda deixar a desejar em alguns fatores como cantora, mas ela se superou nesse álbum e está em crescimento como artista e pessoa, deixando para trás o aspecto ´´Disney`` e englobando uma nova mulher mais madura.

    Na boa, ao ouvir Good For You, pensei que o álbum novo da Sel seria maravilhoso e que ela seguiria aquele caminho. Porém fui enganado docemente. O álbum tem várias farofas, assim como o seu anterior, Stars Dance. Uma ou outra música melancólica, falando de seu conturbado relacionamento com o Bieber, e só. Me decepcionou.

    Selena Gomez era sempre a Teen com o álbum mais genérico e cheio de músicas apenas pra "hitar", observar a evolução dela neste álbum é incrível, músicas calmas, melodias perfeitas, só enjoa pra quem não sabe apreciar música de qualidade.

    O album é ótimo, claramente o melhor da Selena. Só achei a sonoridade de algumas músicas um pouco parecidas demais e até me confundo os nomes por conta disso, mas fora isso as letras, a voz da Gomez estão ótimas e vale muito a pena ouvir. Sucesso para esse album maravilhoso.

    Revival is the best pop album of 2015, Selena is definitively the best 2015 pop star
    "Hands To Myself" and "Survivors" are the best 2015 pop songs, unlike his colleague Lovato, Selena really matured

    Honestly? The album has a few good songs, but other then that, I didn't really like it. Her voice sounds different in almost every song, as if she got another person to sing the album for her. A lot of the songs are repetitive, boring, or annoying. Plus there's the fact that I'm pretty sure she won't be able to sing any of these songs live. Very generic and I wouldn't recommend it.

    Selena actually managed to innovate, unlike their previous albums, Revival is a work of art which exudes instrumental innovative and stunning vocals. It is remarkable that Selena has matured a lot compared to his previous work "Stars Dance", and that fact Revival is a rebirth. The best songs are "Sober", "Hands to Myself", "Good For You", "Revival", "Perfect", "Rise" and "Me & The Rhytm".

    Revival é um álbum maravilhoso e essa era veio pra quebrar todos os argumentos que usam pra julga-la, as letras maduras, a produção maravilhosa e PRINCIPALMENTE a evolução vocal. 2015 com certeza também é um ano da Selena.

    Revival é um ótimo álbum e representante na industria Pop, porém faltou mais produção nas musicas para que não se tornassem tão repetitivas. Sem dúvidas o melhor álbum da Selena, e o mais maduro. Selena cresce cada vez mais na música e em seus trabalhos.

I would definitely recommend the deluxe edition which includes the amazing "Nobody" (which is about God) and the perfect "Perfect". Besides those there are more outstanding songs as "Sober" and "Camouflage". "Hands To Myself" definitely stands out as one of the best songs on the album, she just can't keep her hands to herself (I mean she could but, why would she want to?).The sultry "Good For You" screams greatness as does "Same Old Love" the perfect break-up song. "Kill Em With Kindness" speaks for itself and an amazing song to listen to when you're not feeling too good about yourself. The most anticipated song "Revival" has all different vibes put together which complements each and everything on there. Then we get to the more upbeat songs as the Latino-flavored "Body Heat" and the boss "Me & My Girls", which talks about Selena and well her "girls" including a bit of Spanish lyrics. "Me & The Rhythm" is easily most people's favorite as it has this irresistible disco-inspired beat which you can't help but to dance to. "Rise" speaks about rising over everything when you're feeling down and feeling confident and it has this amazing gospel feel. Lastly, there's "Survivors" which has a very mellow and soft vibe to it. Overall, this is her best album surpassing "Stars Dance" 's killer dance tracks. This is all about what she has been feeling for the past two years and talks about many things. Very interesting album. 10/10 Expand

    Selena managed to bring a really solid album. I wouldn't say Selena got out of her comfort zone, because half of the record is produced by her longtime partners Rock Mafia and Stargate, the latter being the producers of her biggest success back in Hollywood Records "Come & Get It".

    The production in her sophomore album is eccentric and unique (by pop standards of course) and Selena herself isn't a terrible lyricist nor a terrible singer, she is just decent on both fronts. This record doesn't really end itself anywhere, it's like a moving train that doesn't have a destination.

    Ultimately, go buy this album if you are a big fan of Selena, but there isn't much here

    More generally, I think what this album has going for it is the production. Many of the songs have a nice, fresh, modern sound that isn't overdone like a lot of pop music these days. The big drawback though, in my opinion, is that I'm still not convinced that Selena Gomez has any real musical talent. Can she actually sing without autotune? Can she actually write music? There are parts of Revival that suggest that Selena may one day be a worthy pop star, but at this point I think she's still just a product of Disney and her record label.

    Selena is definitely out of the Disney path and Revival comes to prove how an artist can use their personal experiences and their musical wisdom to create something unique and amazing inside of the pop world music - which is a really hard thing to do.

It gives great messages to people for staying strong but without losing the wonderfull alternative sound. The songs are nearly impeccable and they combine catchy pop music with rnb mindi tempo pop alternative sound. Addiotionally, i will never understand why "Nobody" and "Perfect" are not in the standart album edition, because they are excellent. I think that Gomez deserves a Grammy nomination for that.

These 16 songs are beautifully written and produced to perfection, the songs tell the story of a young woman that at one point was broken by mean words, cheating scandals, the enormous pressure to be perfect and serius health issues, but despite all of this she has risen above, she was in many ways dead but she revived. This storyis highly relatable. Please listen to the music, because if you do, you will get to know the real Selena, the truth behind the artist.
    The songs that stand the most are Hands to Myself, Sober, Rise, Good for you, Nobody and the unexpected Perfect (to me it is heartbreaking, you can hear the pain of the singer and I can't understand why or how this ended up being a bonus track).

    Other highlights are Me & the Rhythm, Camouflage, Me and My girls and kill em with kindness.

    Revival is Selena Gomez’ sophomore album as a solo artist and first album under Interscope Records (fifth album if you count her work with her former band, The Scene). She considers this album as her most personal album to date since she executively produced it and co-wrote most of the songs.

    The album begins with the title track which offers promises that this album will be very different. It starts with a little monologue accompanied by a subtle sound of waves, which really establishes that personal connection. The track has an electronic buildup, empowering verses and an epic chorus, making this a perfect opening curtain. “I’m becoming my own salvation,” she proclaims.

    To begin the era of Revival, the sultry “Good For You (ft. A$AP Rocky)” was released during the summer which was met with critical acclaim and chart success. It was definitely the perfect choice as the leading single because it gives a glimpse of Gomez’ departure from her juvenile records. Its lyrics are provocative and it’s a genre she has never done before. The captivating promo-single “Me & The Rhythm” which is named as one of the best new tracks during its release, is a disco-influenced gem. The second single, “Same Old Love” is a jazz-tingled electro-pop song which was also positively reviewed. Charli XCX harmonizes with Selena during its angsty chorus.

    Although, it's true that Selena may not be a powerhouse vocalist, she’s been taking vocal lessons before the creation of this album up to the preparation for her upcoming tour. Looking at her recent performances, her voice has improved dramatically. “Same Old Love” is not the the only time Selena uses profanity as a musical device to express her frustration and being sick of the toxic relationship she has experienced. In the stripped down “Camouflage”, she sings, “I’ve got so much **** to say but I feel like I’m camouflaged”. This piano ballad is truly one of her greatest songs to date as it showcases her vocal vulnerability. The R&B track “Nobody” is one of those tracks where her vocals shine and sound so rich. You definitely know she’s been taking her music career seriously. Especially the fact, she is now under the same label as Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and many other talented vocalists.. she’s definitely been working on those pipes. In “Perfect”, a brilliantly penned ballad with a heartbreaking chorus, she sings about how being cheated on made her insecure and you can really feel her emotions in this stunning song. “Cologne” is a beautifully produced and written bonus track. “Sober”, is a highlight of the album and one of the songs that should be a single. It has heavy synths, a nostalgic looped sample, and a soaring chorus. You don’t know how to love me when you’re sober, she sings in this marvelous track.

    The album of course has a lot of dance jams and what is amazing about them is that they do not sound generic EDM but have a fresh evolved sound. “Hands To Myself” is produced by juggernaut Pop hits producer Max Martin. According to him, it is one of the greatest songs he has ever produced. It has a minimalistic production and a snappy beat. Selena flaunts her confidence in her sexuality (Can’t keep my hands to myself / I mean I could but why would I want to) then she comes swooping in with sexy moans and beautiful vocals. “Kill em with Kindness” is a club-ready track with a catchy whistle hook and inspiring lyrics. “Survivors” is a confident euro dance track that has a tropical tone. The final track in the standard edition is the enlightening “Rise” which lives up to its title with its gospel choir and a chorus that takes you to church.

    Also for the first time, Selena flaunts her roots in this album with upbeat latin-influenced bops. The vigorous “Body Heat” is one of Selena’s most sexually-charged songs to date for its lyrical content (”So press me down till I scream / If you’re the flame, I’m kerosene / I’m burning up, baby). “Outta My Hands (Loco)” is a bonus track which has an animated chorus and pretty dreamy verses. The torch fire “Me and My Girls” is a cinematic dance track with its guitar riffs and mariachi dance breakdown. An anthem for you and your squad as she says “No jodas (don’t **** with us)”. A track that will empower you if you’re single.

    Although I love Selena Gomez’ entire discography, the general criticism of her albums with the Scene is that they sounded juvenile. For Stars Dance, critics said that it felt impersonal and lacks remnant of creativity.
    Revival however is a huge step up, even light years ahead. It also stands out among many existing Pop albums. Like its iconic album cover, it really shows a vulnerable side of her. It is a solid pop masterpiece with an atmospheric sound and extremely catchy melodies where Selena Gomez gets reborn in every moment as she ventures sonically into new ground from one track to the next. A musical triumph and establishes her identity as a rising Pop diva.

    With Kill Em With Kindness, Hands to Myself, Sober and Perfect, Revival can be my favorite Selena's album. The lyrics and her feelings are so real, I think people will love it. She deserves the best, because it's her in this album, it's her moment. She's free, confident and strong. She finally knows who she is, and the album tell what she was afraid to say.

People are saying that this is album is worse, and things like that but they're lying because this album is fantastic. "Me and the rhythm", "Good For You", "Hands to myself" and "Same Old Love" are the best songs. Congratulations to her.

    “Revival”, o segundo álbum solo da cantora e atriz americana Selena Gomez é uma mistura de canções que pulam dos anos 60 aos 80 até os dias de hoje. Você pode perceber na primeira faixa – a mesma que dá nome ao disco – que a vibe desse álbum é diferente de seu antecessor, “Stars Dance”, de 2013. Enquanto Stars Dance foca na produção eletrônica pesada e cheia de batidas genéricas, “Revival”“Revival”, o segundo álbum solo da cantora e atriz americana Selena Gomez é uma mistura de canções que pulam dos anos 60 aos 80 até os dias de hoje. Você pode perceber na primeira faixa – a mesma que dá nome ao disco – que a vibe desse álbum é diferente de seu antecessor, “Stars Dance”, de 2013. Enquanto Stars Dance foca na produção eletrônica pesada e cheia de batidas genéricas, “Revival” apresenta um eletrônico limpo que pode até nos lembrar das músicas da Lorde, por exemplo.

    Liricamente, com toda a certeza, esse é o trabalho mais maduro de Selena, mesmo existindo algumas letras não-tão-boas, também existem letras profundas como a de “Camouflage” (“Você era meu ontem / Agora eu não tenho nem ideia de quem você é / É como se você estivesse camuflado”) até as mais divertidas como a de “Body Heat”.

    “Sober” tem influências dos anos 80, principalmente nos sintetizadores do refrão, a canção nos faz lembrar do incrível “E-MO-TION” de Carly Rae Jepsen, também lançado esse ano. “Same Old Love”, escrita por Charli XCX, tem a letra mais crua do álbum, talvez por parecer tanto que Selena canta para seu ex-namorado Justin Bieber: “Eu já estou cheia desse mesmo velho amor, essa merda acaba comigo / Eu já estou cheia desse mesmo velho amor, meu corpo não aguenta mais”

    “Revival” termina com “Rise” uma canção que mostra que você sempre pode dar a volta por cima, não importa a situação em que você esteja, você sempre poderá se levantar.

    O melhor projeto de Selena até agora, “Revival” é encantador, honesto e divertido. Mesmo com seus altos e baixos, vale a pena, e mostra que uma pessoa pode sim amadurecer musicalmente.

    First with the hit "Good For You" and after with "Same Old Love" and the synth "Me & The Rhythm", Selena proves that she is mature than ever. 'Revival' shows us the really 'Selena Gomez' and that is her 'first' album since her reborn stuff, and also the best. It's wonderful what she get to do with this record. Revival marks Selena's arrival into the musical industry. Slay Selena!

    Song for song, Revival rivals Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion for breakout pop album of the year, but if it similarly falls short of greatness, it's due in large part to a lack of originality.

    There’s enough growth here to accept the occasional stumble. Revival, like ‘Good For You’, is a damn fine, hook-laden surprise. Selena Gomez has found a voice worth paying serious attention to.

    Revival is an audacious name for a 23-year-old singer's second album, but from start to finish, Gomez earns it. This is the sound of a newly empowered pop artist growing into her strengths like never before.
