Revival (Deluxe)

Revival finds Gomez veering further from the teen cheer of her Disney days toward a sultry club mix she explored on her higher-octane 2013 album, Stars Dance. While joined by an incredible roster of guests—including Hit-Boy (of Kanye West & JAY Z’s “Ni**as in Paris” and Beyoncé’s “XO”) and the legendary Max Martin (who has been turning out hits since the Backstreet Boys were, well, boys)—Gomez takes writing and production credits on nearly every song here, making breakup songs like “Same Old Love” crackle with personal history.
