Beck "Heart Is A Drum" (Sophie Muller, dir.)

Sure, it'll be scary when death comes to visit you — be it in the form of a grim reaper or friendly astronauts — and you reunite with your former selves, but don't be too consumed by fear. Otherwise you'll miss out on the strange beauty. Director Sophie Muller perfectly balances the silly and the serious with a nearly always perfect Beck — eg: Sexx Laws = not quite perfect —  in his Nick Drake mode.

Butch Vig Shoots this In-Studio Video for Garbage f/ Brody Dalle (Sophie Muller, dir.)

Although Butch Vig is a man of many talents — Producing albums for Foo Fighters, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth and many more, including a little known gem called Nevermind for Nirvana, plus drumming and co-writining/co-producing as a member of Garbage — he doesn't look to be looking to add "cinematographer" to his resume.

That said, he did this shoot the intense and intimate studio footage that serves as the video for this new Garbage track featuring Shirley Manson in a duet with Brody Dalle.

Katy B "Crying for No Reason" (Sophie Muller & Ross McDowell of Ben & Ross, dir.)

Katy B returns with a performance led visual to accompany her electronic yet emotional track 'Crying for No Reason'. With only lighting to compliment the British star the focus is on the voice almost as if performing to herself in a vacant club. This leaves a lot up to the lights with the show cleverly matching the vocals and beat. Simple yet effective, much like Katy B's emotive portrayal.

John Mayer and Katy Perry "Who You Love" (Sophie Muller, dir.)

Love is like a bucking bull. Hang on, enjoy the ride, be prepared to fall.

Director Sophie Muller interesperses that visual motif with intimate one-on-one performance between real life couple John Mayer and Katy Perry.

May these two be the next Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley. Unless you're a fan of breakup albums like Shoot Out The Lights...

Robin Thicke "Feel Good" (Sophie Muller, dir.)

The Vegas odds on any artist scoring another smash like "Blurred Lines" are probably long, but Robin Thicke is clearly a gambling man. He hedges his bets on "Feel Good" by taking that "Blurred Lines" style and giving it a showgirl and Rat Pack twist in an over-the-top production that incorporates a massive video screen.

PS: Hopefully you didn't let it all ride on a return to NSFW territory, since Thicke and crew keep things clean here.

Pink "True Love" (Sophie Muller, dir.)

P!nk - True Love ft. Lily Allen

Pink welcomes us inside her life on the road with husband Corey Hart and daughter Willow. There's equal amounts of live performance and some pop-art fantasy sequences that depict the highs and lows. Lily Allen also gets a solo spot, although the way she chops that carrot is a clear tip-off that she's not found True Love yet.
