Every other week, writer Mara Hyman takes a look at the buzzworthy short films coming from the music video universe. Here are her latest picks:

Danielle Bradbery - "The Heart of Dixie"

You may recognize Danielle as last season's winner of "The Voice" from Team Blake. This country newcomer not only auditioned for the show with a Taylor Swift song, but she's signed to the same label as her. Her first single is a standard country song, telling the story of a strong-willed woman who left a man behind. It's a slightly odd song for a 16-year-old to sing when you examine the lyrics, but nevertheless she has a pretty voice.

The video could've been much more original, but it has a country vintage feel that doesn't try too hard which is refreshing. Danielle and her friends visit a cozy cabin owned by the late Dixie character, as we see several flashbacks of Dixie in the '60s driving away to start a new life. Overall the video has a sweet and youthful vibe as Danielle and her friends are surrounded by nature. Are you a fan of Danielle?

Cher Lloyd feat. T.I. - "I Wish"

The British singer, known for her hit single "Want U Back," is back with a brand new music style. Her latest has a smooth blend of R&B, pop and a little bit of jazz. The song is extremely catchy and shows off Cher's falsetto and strong attitude.

The video takes place in a bar with a cool, laid back vibe. Visually it highlights the color red and plays with lights with the cool light bulb displays. T.I.'s appearance in the video certainly doesn't upstage Cher or vice versa, but rather they show their sense of humor and seem comfortable on camera together. At the very end it plays a little with stop-motion which is also a cool effect. What do you think of Cher 2.0 with her new R&B style?

Drake feat. Majid Jordan - "Hold On, We're Going Home"

Drake's new single showcases his singing voice with hardly any rapping. The song is a slow moving, R&B and disco-infused track that doesn't sound like anything he's done previously. It steps away from his full-headed nature and feels slightly more natural.

What seems like a sweet, innocent song takes on a whole new meaning in the music video. Drake is having a celebration dinner out with his friends, when he discovers that his girlfriend was kidnapped. He and his friends go out and get guns to hunt down the evil gang and finish them off in a full-fledged battle. It's cool to see videos like this that are pratically a mini-movie, but perhaps he took it too far. While an interesting concept, some fans might attack Drake for possibly promoting gun violence, which is at the core of the video. What do you think of the excessive gun usage in the video?

The Killers - "Shot at the Night"

The Killers are back! Their latest single is an interesting change of pace within the mix of the music industry, as it has a very strong '80s anthemic vibe. Like always, the band succeeds with dynamic lyrics and powerful vocals.

The band also gives us a mini-movie music video, showing the story of a maid who works at a Las Vegas casino. When her friends encourage her to go out and have fun, she encounters a man along the way, and the adventures ensue. We also see several shots of lead singer Brandon Flowers, leather jacket and all, jamming out to the chorus. All in all, the video is fun and inspiring. Are you happy to see The Killers back?

Mike Will Made It feat. Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa & Juicy J - "23"

"She's just being Miley" has never been a truer statement. Miley isn't even the lead in the song, but that's all anyone can talk about because she attempts to be a rapper. The rap verses by Mike Will Made It, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J aren't bad, but Miley's verses bring the song down in a negative way. The video was unfortunately released too soon after Miley's attempt to be vulnerable in "Wrecking Ball," so it feels very out of place.

In the video we see the rappers take over a principal's office at a high school and party in the gym. The red and white color scheme makes the video feel too much like High School Musical gone wrong. We also see the return of the foam finger which made an appearance during Miley's VMA performance, as well as Miley sitting on top of a basketball hoop. Perhaps it was a bad decision to incorporate her in the song, but it did get millions of views the day of its release. What do you think?
