I remember when the Lover album came out and all I could feel was guilt. Guilt of being completely disinterested in a work released by an artist I've always loved so much and supported fiercely. Why did I feel so bland towards Taylor's Lover album? Why did I not give a damn about it? Why …

Okay, "Rare" is out and there is nothing vocally stunning here. No wide vocal range, no high notes just Selena effortlessly capturing hearts with her fearless vulnerability and profound resonance.
