It is particularly popular in the Western Balkans , but has also performed in Switzerland , among other places . Her repertoire combines R&B, soul and pop music.

Ivana's third studio album was released on October 16, 2006. The album Osjećaj (German: “Feeling”) is a mixture of contemporary R&B , pop , soul , gospel , rock and alternative (12 tracks). For the first time, R&B no longer dominates; the album topped the Croatian album charts for several weeks and received good reviews. The album had the working title Sve otpoćetka (German: "Everything from the beginning"), which should symbolize that the singer wants to go in a new musical direction with this album.

After six single releases from Osjećaj , Kindl's record company Menart Records announced that the singer was working on songs for her fourth studio album. A release date is set for mid-2009. In addition, the singer released a single with Još jedan mali date as the first harbinger for the new album.
The singer also released a gospel live album in December 2008 , as this year she held a purely gospel concert, which was positively received by fans and critics alike. The single Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child was released to market the gospel album .
At the beginning of 2009 Ivana took part again in the third season of the show "Zvijezde Pjevaju", her singing partner that year was Duško Modrinic (also known as Roko from the Croatian T-Mobile advertisement). Together they made it to the final and came in second after a narrow audience decision.
At the beginning of June 2009 the first official single from the fourth studio album was released with Oči (German: "eyes"). According to her record company, Ivana's career will turn around with this.
