Welcome to a very Gaspar Noé type of nightmare for The Weeknd's collaboration with pioneering electronic musician and producer Giorgio Moroder.This is no Noé-influenced piece either, but the unmistakeable work of the man himself, a combination of eye-bleeding visual assault and unsettling, disorientating strangeness. An elderly man staggers through a deserted virtual city under a sky of Northern Lights gone haywire, in which the giant sculpted heads of the two artists revolve.In Abel Tesfaye's long and distinguished track record of music videos this has to be the most uncompromising yet in terms of the visual aesthetic. Never has a 'flashing lights' warning at the start of a video been more justified. Top marks for giving the fanbase something outside their comfort zone.

Jianbo slips between diferent realities in Charles Copsey's stylish and slick visual for None Of Us.In the latest in a series of impressive visuals for the London-based rapper, Jainbo plays three characters. The pivot is a victim of gangland torture who's mind splinters into fragments of his personality - a mean gangster and gambler and happy-go-lucky, blue-haired pop star.In his struggle to fight back against his captors, we get a glimpse of the kaleidoscopic identities and traits that together form the artist that is Jianbo. And the smart concept allows Copsey and his team to build a convincing world for the story, as environments are reconfigured to suit each character.
