A few months later, the release of Mihaela's single "Opasno blizki", ft. VenZy, made her nationally popular as it turned into a smash hit. It was followed by "A dano, ama nadali" and "Prilivi i otlivi". Once Mihaela released her debut album "Incognito", it was evidence that she is a productive songwriter and artist.
