 Here's what music reviewers are saying about Jill and her work... “Jill Sobule can claim her place among the stellar New York singer-songwriters of the last decade. Topical, funny and more than a little poignant... grown-up music for an adolescent age.” — New York Times “Vocally gifted and lyrically witty... a peerless satirist.” — People Magazine “A feisty post-punk feminist whose work brings to mind a cross between Liz Phair and Gertrude Stein.” — The New Yorker “Luminous, talented and likable.” — The Detroit News “Sobule crafts smart, neoclassic pop with a middle child's talent for attention-getting.” — Entertainment Weekly “Where other 'quirky' musicians stagnate or flameout, Sobule only gets stronger... in the gets-better-with-every-album race, she's the rare real deal.” — Amazon.com “A great songwriter with songwriting skills that transcend her one-novelty-hit wonder status.” — Village Voice “Witty & clever.” — Vanity Fair “It's not surprising that Sobule's music is admired by musicians as diverse as Don Henley (for whom she opened), Lloyd Cole (whose band The Negatives she was a member of), Warren Zevon, and The Go Go's Jane Weidlin... One of the '90s more interesting, accomplished, and regrettably little-known singer/songwriters.” — All Music Guide “Jill Sobule's winning ways tend to charm almost anyone who encounters the New York-based musician. Carried along on bouncy, irresistible melodies, her storylike lyrics combine wit and pathos with remarkable grace.” — Utne Reader “Criminally underappreciated... One Jill Sobule is worth a million Britneys and Christinas.” — Ink19 “A songwriter of scope and dimension.” — MetroWest Daily News (Boston) “One of pop's best satirists.” — New York Daily News “Sobule possesses the uncommon ability to combine lilting, infectious melodies with personal and socially relevant lyrics, and then couch them in artfully crafted arrangements... A top pop tunesmith.” — CMJ New Music Report “One of the warmest, funniest songwriters out there.” — PopMatters “Sobule is a deft ironist. She is smart and original, a treasure undervalued by inevitable association with countless lessers who also happen to be singing about going to the laundromat in Brooklyn.” — The New Republic “One can only hope that... Sobule will reap the artistic and commercial recognition she deserves... On songs that act as many self-contained vignettes, she captures life's little miseries and epiphanies with economy and understated humor.” — Amazon.com “Remarkable.” — Time Out New York |
