My Take
Jill Sobule deserved far more recognition than she got, and her passing in 2025 still feels like a real loss to me. Best known for 1995's witty, groundbreaking I Kissed a Girl and Clueless's Supermodel, she moved fluidly between ironic character studies and tender ballads in a lineage I love, alongside writers like Warren Zevon and Harry Nilsson. What I value most is her refusal to chase trends; she simply wrote honest, observant songs about being human. That kind of integrity rarely tops charts, but it is exactly the artistry I keep returning to.
