Selena Gomez is back! After waiting for two years, Gomez fans, dubbed Selenators, were ecstatic when she announced Revival, propelled to number one on the iTunes charts. But through all the excitement, they seem to be missing the obvious: it is not as good as they make it out to be.

Yes, there are multiple good and catchy songs, like “Sober” and“Rise,” which have a catchy melody and entertaining lyrics, but most of them do not warrant much praise.

The first single from the album, “Good For You,” may have reached number one, but it was not anything special. There was so much auto tune that Gomez’s voice was almost indistinguishable. Her mumbling made it even worse, especially since it takes so much effort to comprehend the lyrics. A$AP Rocky’s rap verse was easier to understand than Gomez.

“Good For You” was not the only song on the album that overly relied on auto tune, in fact, most, if not all the songs are auto tuned. Gomez relies on auto tune and the distracting drums in the background of every song more than she relies on her voice. With her new tour on the horizon, it makes you wonder how all of these song will sound live.

“There are moments when you hear the auto tune come in, her voice strains to hit some notes or even an outside vocalist to take care of the hook (Charli XCX, Chloe Angelides), which gives me qualms about embracing her fully,” Ryan Middleton, writer for musictimes.com, wrote.

The auto tune is not the biggest problem, however. The music and lyrics do not match for a lot of the songs. The lyrics in “Kill Em With Kindness” are incredibly slow, and the music is a mix between EDM and some weird Indie vibe. The drums are more significant than Gomez’s voice, even though she’s talking, not singing, through most of the chorus.

Talking instead of singing is also a prominent theme in this album. In “Me and My Girls,” Gomez talks about how much fun she and her friends have and that she doesn’t need a man in her life.  Her talking even has a significant amount of auto tune. This song has the same vibe as Gwen Sefani and Pharell’s song “Spark the Fire.”

The biggest problem with this album is that Gomez was attributed to writing only 65 percent of the songs. Her whole message was that this album came from the heart and it was 100 percent authentic, but how can that be when she did not even write all of the songs?

Overall, the album was not all it was hyped up to be. There were some catchy songs, but most of the songs were so heavily auto tuned and overproduced that there was not even anything real to listen to. The excitement from Selenators was evident, but it was incredibly over dramatized.
