Here are the five Academy Award nominees for Best Original Song ranked, from worst to best.

    Superstar hip-hop producer Mike WiLL Made It has shared the music video for his track "F--k U Expect" featuring Jace, which you can check out below.

    Ne-Yo's upcoming album "Non-Fiction" is set to drop toward the end of the month, so in anticipation the R&B superstar has shared another one of the album's songs, titled "Who's Taking You Home," in the form of a lyric video, which you can check out below. "Who's Taking You Home" is part ballad, part dance-party, filled with semi-romantic longings toward a woman Ne-Yo has met in the club and wants to go home with.

  • FKA twigs Tangles Herself Up in 'Pendulum' Music Vid [WATCH]

    British R&B singer FKA twigs has shared the music video for her song "Pendulum," which you can check out below. Directed by the singer herself, the bizarre video shows twigs tangled up in what looks like her own hair and later dancing on top of a giant puddle of water with her own face in it. It os the sort of thing Björk would have done back in the 1990s, which is a compliment. You can check out FKA twigs's music video for "Pendulum" right here, via MTV:

  • Flying Lotus Shares 'Coronus, the Terminator' Music Vid [WATCH]

    Electronic artist Flying Lotus has shared the haunting music video for his song "Coronus, the Terminator," which you can check out below. Directed by Young Replicant, the clip stars Flying Lotus, among other people, as some sort of ghostly figure who witnesses a man's startlingly violent death. It is creepy stuff, but it is also beautiful in the strangest way. "Coronus, the Terminator" is the third music video to be shared from Flying Lotus's latest album "You're Dead!," following the videos for "Ready Err Not" and "Never Catch Me" featuring Kendrick Lamar. It is one of the rare songs in which Flying Lotus sings lead, rather than collaborating with a singer or rapper. "For me, 'Coronus' is one of the most important moments on 'You're Dead!' and holds ideas I'm planning to explore in my future work," Flying Lotus said of the song in a press release. "I'm happy that the visual encapsulates the meaning of the record and this ambition." You can check out Flying Lotus's "Coronus, the Terminator" music video here:
