Drawing from popular discourses on Beyoncé and women in hip-hop, the paper aims to offer an alternate perspective on notions of performativity and emancipatory possibilities of the performer’s hypervisuality through visual representations and strategies.Unlike commercialized ideals of (white, Eurocentric) beauty and femininity which objectify the female figure (and sexuality) as either Madonna or whore, the visual album utilisies provocative sexual politics to denote contesting and lived female experiences that refuse easy categorization. The paper argues that the performer utilises bodily notions of excess and control through her physical body ie. These songs explore different facets of sexual experiences in its corporeality as well as psychosexuality. Specifically, I examine the deployment of risqué content in the music videos for “Yoncé/Partition”, “Blow”, “Mine” and “Grown Woman” ,Beyoncé. The paper deploys concepts of risk through an exploration of African-American pop superstar, Beyoncé’s, visual album released in 2013 - " Beyoncé". This paper was submitted as part of a Ideas & Exposition Module - Risk and Popular Culture, at Tembusu College, NUS.
