  • Bio

    ..Artist Bio:.... Hi, I'm Elaine. My daughter, Jill, was a delightful baby, but a miserable teen. She now tells me, her misery is what helped her to be the artist she is today. Oh, please! .... But I am so proud of her today; especially her new record California Years. Not only does it have great songs but also it was completely fan-funded. She has helped to start a new model in the music industry -that is what she told me. .... I am also proud of her activism. Even as a child she was political. I remember her first song as a child was something about Watergate. She also had a hit song in 1995 about kissing a girl. Even though I was not wild about it at first it grew on me and is so much better than that "other song" with the stolen title. But since that time, she has become one of the most respected songwriters and performers around. By the way, it was my side of the family where she got her talent. .... ..Thank you,....Elaine Dillon

    .........."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."..- Jon Pareles, ..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......"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......"Songwriting skills that transcend her one-novelty-hit wonder status." ..- ..Village Voice......"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...... "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......"On songs that act as many self-contained vignettes, she captures life's little miseries and epiphanies with economy and understated humor." ..- ..Amazon.com......"Sobule shows a great eye for satire... [but she] lends her tales an extra layer of tenderness through her deadpan vocal delivery. Her Bacharach-like lounge-pop tunes also keep things light. But underneath the froth lies Sobule's need to speak honestly about what it's like to live mainly inside your head." (Underdog Victorious listed as one of the "Magnificent 7 ... terrific recent CDs that slipped under the mainstream radar") ..- Jim Farber, ..New York Daily News......"Each record [Jill Sobule has] released ... has been better than the last... Her lyrics are always catchy and funny and smart; her hooks and choruses are always fine-tuned and elusive... There's a truth to her stories; it's impossible to avoid. Not that anyone except a total sourpuss would want to." ..- Will Hermes, ..All Things Considered.., National Public Radio............
