Maple Glider shares double single taken from her forthcoming album, I Get Into Trouble

Maple Glider shares the brand new double single, "You're Gonna Be A Daddy" and "You At The Top Of The Driveway".

“You At The Top Of The Driveway” and “You’re Gonna Be A Daddy” are sibling songs that bridge together Side A and Side B of the forthcoming album, I Get Into Trouble, and were written for and dedicated to Maple Glider’s songwriting muse - her niece.

The video for “You’re Gonna Be A Daddy” was filmed on Dja Dja Wurrung country in central Victoria, at The Salvage Yard, and is gratuitously full of colourful costumes and a fabulous unicorn affectionately nicknamed “Stubz”. It was created with the same team behind the clip for previous single “Dinah”, which was co-directed by Bridgette Winten and filmed by Tom Dunphy.

"I wrote these songs together as part one and two when I found out I was going to be an aunty for the first time. I experienced an urgent feeling of wanting to be near her, and I imagined all the things we'd be able to do together, in the same places where my brother and I grew up," she says. "I was having all sorts of considerations about my place in the world and what I am doing here, and I was searching for the things / people that hold importance to me."

“You At The Top Of The Driveway” and “You’re Gonna Be A Daddy” follow previous singles “Dinah”, and “Don’t Kiss Me”. This year Maple Glider also released a hypnotic cover of Shania Twain’s classic “You’re Still The One”.

“You At The Top Of The Driveway” and “You’re Gonna Be A Daddy” are out now. Maple Glider's forthcoming album, I Get Into Trouble, arrives on 13 October.
