Her song "Nothing to Lose" appeared on Thievery Corporation's album Versions in 2006. In 2007, she released French Riviera with producers from the Japanese nu-jazz scene including Kyoto Jazz Massive, Jazztronik, Yukihiro Fukutomi, and Tatsuo Sunaga.

Throughout her career, Isabelle Antena has showcased her talent as a versatile artist with a unique blend of pop and jazz influences. Her music continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

'Hoping for Love' is the second solo album by Isabelle Antena, originally issued by Les Disques du Crepuscule in March 1987. After 'Camino Del Sol' and 'En Cavale', 'Hoping for Love' saw Isabelle Antena step left of the dancefloor, expanding her Latin, funk and samba palette to include jazz and acoustic styles. With the originally vinyl running order now restored, the first five tracks offer dance and synth pop tracks, while the second half of Hoping for Love is a suite arranged and produced by Isabelle herself, and featuring crack jazz musicians such as Danny Cordova and Johnny Hot. This new digital re-master features five bonus tracks, including 12" mixes by Marc Moulin (Telex) and Mark Kamins (Madonna). The artwork is by Hitoshi Tagata.
