Driven to Fantasy is the second studio album by American singer and billboard model Angelyne, released in 1986 on her independent record label, Pink Kitten Records. It was her first musical release since her self-titled debut album (1982) and the rise to fame caused by her self-promoting billboard campaign, which made her a fixture on the Los Angeles scene. Produced by Angelyne and her guitarist David Pasarow, Driven to Fantasy is a dance-pop album with strong influences of new wave music. Angelyne collaborated with Pasarow and Dale Carroll on writing the songs for the album.
