Well she needs to take risks because as you said, she was never really a risk-taker. I think we can all agree she's established herself in the industry. She doesn't need to pander to the masses and use the same producers, collaborators, sound, lyrics every time. She has earned her spot and now it would be wonderful if she could make the music that she really wants to make. Maybe this is it. Who knows? But this is the same problem Madonna had. We all know she's talented but MDNA was rather generic and seemed more like she wanted to fit in than make a good record on it's own. I know this is an industry and art is often trumped by commerce, but then let's not praise the "artists" for making lots of money and getting hits when we should be praising the business plans.
