In fact, if Beyoncé had released an EDM song I would've considered it risky, because that's new for HER and different to what's always worked in her favor.
Who cares, though? In the end if the music is good and the fans like it then there's no problem. I ADORE 4, but it really isn't that much different (although definitely better) than what we're used to hear from Beyoncé. Britney's FF wasn't exactly what you'd call innovative and risky (except for HIAM), but it's still a great album. Those who think their faves are better and "true artists" just because they don't release what's hot at the moment are just pretentious music snobs anyways

Beyonce has been about female empowerment since way before single ladies. The whoe theme of b'day is female empowerment as reflected in songs like upgrade u, suga mama, kitty kat, greenlight, beautiful liar etc. Sonically, RTW is way riskier than any other lead Bey single. Since the day it leaked, everyone was saying it wasnt radio-friendly. Hows that not risky?
