Released in January, Oren Lavie&#39;s video for Second Hand Lovers has been garnering acclaim and awards ever since. After a Jury award at SXSW and being selected for screening at the Tribeca Film Festival, it&#39;s just&nbsp;picked up the Best Concept prize at the Berlin Music Video Awards. All this attention is entirely deserved.The Israeli artist has made a habit of creating memorable choreography-led videos for his songs and Second Hand Lovers is subtitled Bedroom Crime #2, the sequel to last year&#39;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaK4t6hKKO4" target="_blank">Did You Really Say No</a>&nbsp;(aka Bedroom Crime #1), featuring Vanessa Paradis. As with that one, a group&nbsp;of dancers occupy&nbsp;Lavie&#39;s&nbsp;domestic space, to act almost as visible ghosts, reacting to the vissicitudes of his emotional life, through sensitive choreography by Maya Brinner.The added dimension of Second Hand Lovers is how Lavie also tells of the arc of a romantic relationship. The result is a beautifully crafted and poignant piece of work.&nbsp;

Denim blue is the new black in Ben Strebel&#39;s new video for The Kills.Strebel presents an impressionistic take on mass incarceration with Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince as the handcuffed, still bolshy leaders of a gang of choreographed convicts.It&#39;s a new,&nbsp;more sinister take on that classic stylised take on prison life,&nbsp;Jailhouse Rock.&nbsp; &nbsp;

The story of a relationship played out entirely on London public transport, Sophie Muller&#39;s video for Wolf Alice follows a familiar path from the initial meeting and mutual attraction onwards. But this ends up somewhere less expected.Don&#39;t Delete The Kisses is a real treat. This becomes less about the dramatic arc, and more about the characters - there are outstanding performances here from the lead actors Chelsea&nbsp;Edge and Jack Anderson &ndash; which leaves much more for the viewer to think about. It&#39;s brought together in a marvellous edit by Muller with Owen Oppenheimer. And overall it&#39;s so absorbing, you will probably not be thinking how they figured out how to shoot this.&nbsp;What&#39;s more, it also happens to be Sophie Muller&#39;s first ever video that does not feature the artist. That makes it a landmark as big as any in London. &nbsp;

Jennifer Juniper Stratford&#39;s video for Beach House is an awesome analogue mess lifted straight out of the 80s.Complete with a minimal, yet somehow still gloriously excessive setting, this hyper-saturated colourscape video sees The Traveller go on a journey laced with high contrast psychedelia. Waves upon waves of gorgeous analogue manipulation wash over the protagonist as she walks powerfully through a black void. The costume, the setting, the aesthetic - it&#39;s all screaming 80s so loudly that it&#39;s walking firmly through the door labelled pastiche and heading for straight for parody - but that&#39;s certainly no bad thing.

It&#39;s been eight years since Sophie Muller and The Kills&#39;&nbsp;collaboration&nbsp;for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2008/06/19/kills%E2%80%99-last-day-magic-sophie-muller" target="_blank">Last Day of Magic</a>&nbsp;back when bandmates&nbsp;Alison Mosshart and&nbsp;Jamie Hincehave where beating the living daylights out of each other in hotels and back&nbsp;alleys.Seems like they&#39;re getting along just fine&nbsp;now in Sophie&#39;s playful fourth video for the duo,&nbsp;Heart Of A Dog, which gives us a glimpse into their shared&nbsp;creative&nbsp;lives, made up of a dynamic&nbsp;patchwork of&nbsp;images.&nbsp;Captured&nbsp;across a day in Los Angeles, it&#39;s a really quite lovely piece of work, and seems to get at the&nbsp;heart of their dynamic - one of writing, travelling, taking in the sun,&nbsp;making music,&nbsp;playing around with each other... with a few&nbsp;backflips thrown in.

Sophie Muller has probably made over a thousand music videos - but has she ever directed&nbsp;a &#39;live music video&#39; before?Well, maybe. That&#39;s certainly what she did for her old buddy Gwen Stefani&#39;s new song Make Me Like You - and it was performed at the Grammys on Monday night, so it was properly live. And it&#39;s terrific, from start to that roller skating pile-up, and beyond...&nbsp;Great stuff.&nbsp;

Ross McDowell of directing duo&nbsp;Ben &amp; Ross&nbsp;has teamed up with pop video heavyweight&nbsp;Sophie Muller, to create this awesomely eerie video for Impossible Winner,&nbsp;in which rock supergroup The Dead Weather play freakshow captives, jailed&nbsp;in a travelling boxcar.Book-ended by the same shot of their&nbsp;thuggish captors, the scene depicts the bandmates in a state of nervous despair. Featuring&nbsp;bassist&nbsp;Jack Lawrence (of&nbsp;The Raconteurs) with six fingers, Jack White with three legs and three&nbsp;arms, Dean Fertita (of&nbsp;Queens of the Stone Age) with elongated fingers and&nbsp;vocalist&nbsp;Alison Mosshart (of&nbsp;The Kills) looking into a mirror which reflects the back of her head.Captured at&nbsp;odd angles by DoP&nbsp;Roger Pistole, the remaining jail cells are filled with other troubling characters, such as a man&nbsp;weeping over his dead bride&nbsp;and young girl with rag doll scars taking it all in. Not to mention the dreadful sight&nbsp;of their raging captors, whose mouths take over their&nbsp;entire face...

Sophie Muller has made hundreds, perhaps thousands of music videos. She&#39;s still making great ones. For Beck&#39;s Heart Is A Drum Sophie takes a motley cast - a leading lady, a handsome priest, the grim reaper,&nbsp;a couple of astronauts, a young rockstar version of Beck, and&nbsp;Beck himself&nbsp;- takes them out down to a tumbledown farm, and creates magic.If there&#39;s a narrative, it&#39;s far less important than the flow of imagery and music. Great, interesting photography (by two cameramen,&nbsp;Giovanni Ribisi and Ben Rivers), lovely edit (by Sophie and Owen Oppenheimer)... Perhaps the video is a bit of a Nineties throwback - appopriately for Beck. Who cares? This is why music videos is a beautiful&nbsp;artfom in its own right.If music videos had a poet laureate, the most eminent, greatest exponent of the craft -&nbsp;who better than Sophie Muller?

Sophie Muller has started the year in storming fashion. Closely following her Katy B video for Crying For No Reason (co-directed with Ross McDowell) comes her video for the most notorious pop performer of 2013 (male category).&nbsp;Perhaps not surprisingly, her video for Robin Thicke&#39;s Feel Good&nbsp;is a rather less provocative than Blurred Lines. And could Robin be slightly sending up his louche ratpack persona with this stagey setting with numerous leggy dancing girls? It&#39;s intercut with brief shots of a more troubled character...
