Graded Song: 9Muses "Dolls" + MV


More K-Pop comeback goodness. This time it is from idol group Nine Muses. Like their name states, the group is made up of nine girls and they first debuted back in 2010. A few members left and a few were added in that time. I'm not familiar with any of their previous material so I can't formulate an opinion of the song based on their other songs. I wonder how this one sounds...
The track reminds me of a slower and more groovy version of Infinite's "The Chaser," which is funny because both songs were produced by Sweetune. What makes the song is the horn section. You can envision yourself finger snapping and jiving along back in a vintage club somewhere. The rapping seems stronger than most idol groups nowadays and the song is more mature than I would have expected. In other words, it's pretty good.
Final Grade:B+ 
The music video is a simple set-and-dance MV, with the girls set up into two groups and two scenes where they perform together. There moves are pretty elementary, a hip shake there, a hand gesture here, but it works wonderfully with the toned down nature of the song.
