Girlfriend (The Driver Era album)

Girlfriend is the second studio album from American music duo the Driver Era, released on October 15, 2021, by BMG and TOO Records.

[2] The album was preceded by the release of ten singles: "A Kiss" with "Forever Always", "OMG Plz Don't Come Around" with "Flashdrive", "Take Me Away", "Places", "Fade" , "Heaven Angel", "#1 Fan" and "Leave Me Feeling Confident".

[8] On April 23, 2021, during a YouTube Live dedicated to MTV Friday Livestream's first birthday, The Driver Era announced their next single "Heaven Angel", to be released within the following month.

Bella Martin of DIY wrote that the record "possesses a slinky line in R&B-tinged, ‘80s-indebted pop", while noting that it felt a "little too two-dimensional" at times.

[11] Dork's Stephen Ackroyd called it a "textured, smart modern pop rock record" and added that, although sometimes the album feels a little slick, the band "remain firmly heading in the right direction".
