It's been four years since the release of Selena Gomez [1]'s intimate second studio album Revival, and although the singer has treated fans to various musical drops throughout the years, it's finally time for her next big project: album number three. On Thursday, the singer unveiled the art for her new album Rare, which will be released on Jan. 10 [2], just in time to celebrate the new year.
In the short teaser, Gomez also gave a glimpse of the tracklist, which includes recent releases "Lose You to Love Me [3]" and "Look at Her Now [4]," which are a good indication that this era of music will be promising for the artist. In fact, "Lose You to Love Me" has since become the singer's first-ever single [5] to make its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart! According to a press release from November, previously dropped singles like "Bad Liar [6]," "Back to You [7]," "Wolves [8]" (with Marshmello), and "Fetish [9]" (featuring Gucci Mane) will appear on the Target deluxe edition of SG2, so there'll be even more goodies to enjoy.
In an Instagram post announcing the album release date [10], Gomez called SG2 "my diary from the past few years," which is pretty similar to what she told Jimmy Fallon back in June [11]. "I'm just relieved, 'cause it took me four years now to even feel at a good place with this album because I had such huge moments that happened in my life personally," she explained of her hiatus from the music industry and finishing her album. "How was I gonna capture that? How was I gonna actually feel good about what I was saying? I kept going, and I'm relieved now."
We can't wait to hear what the finished product sounds like!
