5.0 out of 5 stars After all of these years, it still remains one of the best!, March 23, 2000

This review is from: Jill Sobule (W/ Supermodel) (Audio CD)

I am 17 years old, so this cd was released when I was 12 years old when it was released. I just decided to buy it about a year ago, and what an impact it made on me! Any fan of the movie Clueless will know the sing-songy chorus of the peppy classic, "Supermodel", and most of you will have a slight memory of that jangley little ditty about a lesbian tryst, "I Kissed A Girl". However, the fun doesn't stop there. Jill's songs are written in mostly story form, which gives a very intimate feel to her music. My personal favorite is "Vrbana Bridge", a tragic tale about two lovers who suffer the loss of one another during the Bosnian War. The melody is extremely catchy, and the message will melt even the hardest of hearts. This cd is fun, thoughful, and beautiful. Definately on my top 10 list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secret Genius, January 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Jill Sobule (W/ Supermodel) (Audio CD)

When this album first came out I used to listen to it in the car all the time, not really aware of who she was or how famous she was (not at all, it turns out). Then I didn't listen to it for ages, and a couple of years ago, when I finally got musical taste, I heard it again and thought - she's a genius. Fantastic, witty lyrics, melodic guitar and diverse song subjects (from political Romeo-and-Juliet style war stories to teenage dreams of stardom) mean this album is essential listening. Each tune is a little story, and Sobule has an original take on life that should keep you hooked. Look out for her other albums too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jill Sobule- best f'cking artist ever..., January 14, 2002

The songs on this album are as musically diverse as it gets. From the sweet, sad ballads like "Houdini's Box" and "Vrbania Bridge" to the pop-punk "Supermodel", every song is another treasure that seems to be getting better with time. I've had this CD for about a month, and every time I listen to it, I find another secret Jill is telling me. Anyone who listens to female vocalists will love this CD, it's pure poetry.
