Album Notes
Witty, satirical, and charming, Jill Sobule brings a refreshing twist to the confessional singer/songwriter style, a fact readily apparent on 2004's UNDERDOG VICTORIOUS. In part, Sobule builds her appeal with a knack for breezy, infectious hooks, like the one on the album's first single, "Cinnamon Park," or the anthemic, sing-along chorus of the title track. Also impressive is Sobule's ear for tasteful, appealing arrangements that nod to pop history ("Cinnamon Park" is centered on the main piano riff from Chicago's "Saturday in the Park"), but always suit the song by highlighting her melodies and intimate, emotive singing.
Sobule's fine lyrics spin narratives about characters in trying situations. A boy named Johnny, in "Under the Disco Ball," tries to hide his homosexuality from his conservative parents, while "Tel Aviv" is a first person account of an Israeli prostitute. The details in Sobule's story-songs make them credible, and their emotional resonance gives them punch. That Sobule is able to marry these talents to a keen pop sensibility and an often disarming romanticism ("Jetpack" reveals the narrator's wish to fly into a lover's apartment) make UNDERDOG VICTORIOUS well worth a listen.
