‘My new album was a nightmare to make’ – Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez’s new album Rare dropped yesterday. In advance, she did an emotional confessional video about it for Spotify. Selena Gomez says the album took her two years of many “drastic” life changes for it to finally come together, which was a “nightmare.”
We all know the 27-year-old sings about the devastating heartbreak over her breakup with Justin Bieber, 25, in the song Lose You To Love Me and how she picked herself back up in the inspirational Look At Her Now.
Selena Gomez has been through a lot in the past few years; from her failing health to surgeries to heartbreaks. This is her first album since 2015.
In her interview with Spotify, Gomez explains how the album came together and why the title is so important to her.
“Honestly, this album was kind of a nightmare to deal with, but in the best way possible,” Selena Gomez reveals while seated on a cozy chair, wearing a cuddly printed sweater.
She then launches into an emotional and tearful story of why she chose the word “rare” as her album title. Gomez explained that the word hit home for her because she always had insecurities and wanted so badly to feel valued.
Gomez then talked about working with Kid Cudi and how glad she was that things turned out the way they did. She also expressed her love for her fans and how privileged she felt to make music that impacted the lives of millions of people.
