The Weeknd is trapped in an emotional purgatory, in the Cliqua-directed promo for Is There Someone Else.&nbsp;Drenched in 1980s movie influences, the&nbsp;wonderfully cinematic video sees the artist reliving a memory of a time spent with a mysterious love interest, visualised through sultry choreography and an enigmatic, abstract concept.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Exploring the idea of voyeurism - and taking its stylistic lead from archetypal Eighties fare by Brian DePalma and Adrian Lyne -&nbsp;the use of a masked version of The Weeknd&nbsp;suggests a doppelganger watching from afar, trapped in a loop of paranoia as he stares through a telescope.&nbsp;Diving into surrealist fantasy scenes towards the end, it's another&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;of creativity, that builds upon the Dawn FM era, with a contemporary film noir-style edge.[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

The Weeknd 'Is There Someone Else?' by Cliqua

The-Weeknd-'Is-There-Someone-Else?'-by-Cliqua

Noel Paul directs a gritty yet heartwarming promo for Ezra Furman.&nbsp;The video focuses on an unlikely pickup after a rough night at a rowdy dive bar. We see the main character - played by Elizabeth Scopel - dazed and confused, attempting to lose themselves with macho boozers&nbsp;on the dancefloor, before getting accidentally whacked on the head and knocked to the floor by an overenthusiastic patron.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Elizabeth is picked up by NY cabaret personality and actor Daphne Always, who drives her to a hotel, cleans her up and sees the sunset in with a cigarette.&nbsp;This is terrific work by Noel Paul, beautifully shot by DoP&nbsp;Gabe Harden. The cinematic aesthetic and use of colour evokes vintage arthouse fare, and perfectly encapsulates the narrative concept.&nbsp;

Ezra Furman 'Forever In Sunset' by Noel Paul

Colin Read employs technical ingenuity to chronicle a man's descent to the brink of madness for Doves.In the Broken Eyes video it's the same room, the same camera move (more or less) being replayed again and again. Each time a fraught domestic situation gets worse. It's a lockdown nightmare, basically.But can this selfish, self-destructive individual pull himself together before it's too late?&nbsp;

Doves 'Broken Eyes' by Colin Read

Doves-'Broken-Eyes-'-by-Jack-Smith

Area 51 meets 90s nostalgia in the new Weezer video, directed by Danilo Parra.Opening in a black and white point of view shot, we are introduced to a high school party in a massive garden and house. As we move towards the living room, we cut out of point of view, revealing a gangly alien with a freakishly long neck. He looks somewhat "go with the flow" in terms of attitude, however when two men dressed in hazmats come for him, he has to make a clever escape.It's a charming video with just the right amount of weird, and a brilliant comeback for Weezer.

Weezer 'End Of The Game' by Danilo Parra

Danilo Parra channels a Nineties classic in this video&nbsp;for the LA-based R&amp;B duo Emotional Oranges. But although the famous pottery scene in Ghost has been widely parodied in the past, Parra revives its essential emotional core.It's all about loss of someone very close, and then finding that connection again - which Parra achieves in the Good To Me video, expressing a vivid degree of&nbsp;sensuality through the performances of his leads.And there's real pottery-making too...&nbsp;&nbsp;

Danilo Parra peels away the layers of a family relationship for Carlie Hanson - whose dad may be a bit of a rascal. But he&#39;s certainly not the only one involved in a criminal enterprise...
