Jill Sobule Was a Singer

She was known for being a singer-songwriter, creating hit songs like “I Kissed a Girl,” “Supermodel,” and the theme song for Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous.

While her career has had its moments she recalled trying to find herself in a 2018 interview with Billboard where she noted, “I went through an extended period of time of finding other things and avoiding doing a new album.” Sobule added, “There were things that happened in my life — the death of a parent, a breakup, a move. I was my own procrastinatrix, is what I call it. But I think those kind of jostle you back into the creative mode, and I started loving music again — loving listening, loving writing and the original spirit of why I did this in the first place, I suppose.”
