American music new outlet Billboard recently published a review on TVXQ's latest album, "TENSE".

Billboard lauded TVXQ's latest offering, even noting that some tracks will garner the interest of Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, and R&B fans in general.

They also wrote, "While TVXQ has gifted the K-pop scene with forward-thinking electronic-pop treats, and 'Something' is a delightful delicacy that successfully combines the sounds of the past and today."

"Despite a sombre piano intro, a walking bass line soon sneaks into the track, transforming it into a feel good funk-rock track with melodies that wouldn't sound out of place on a classic Michael Jackson record, but with a modern production (look out for the DJ scratch section) that feels at home on Bruno Mars' 'Unorthodox Jukebox' album."

"Another smooth R&B production showing off the duo's powerful vocals -- and as fantastic as the guys sounds on the stripped-down production, 10 years into their careers we already know these boys can sing. And at this point in the album, the listener may wonder why tracks like this or "Smoky Heart" are such safe arrangements."

"TENSE" was release in January 6^th this year. Since then, the tracks have been dominating the music charts.
