Free Music Notes for Pink Pearl

Free Music Review: A mature and fascinating collection
Hit: 5 Stars

I've liked Jill Solbule for quite a while. Funny as it may seem, her album "Jill Solbule" (w/"Supermodel") was a kind of weight-lifting classic for me and my goony buddies in college. First, I brought it as a joke and slipped it in after Metallica's "Ride The Lightning"... and we ended up unable to take it off! Wow, did we look weird...

Anyways, Jill has improved by wide degrees as a lyricist since "I kissed a girl" (which was very clever anyway). There are some lines that are just breathtaking... like, pull over to the shoulder and rewind and listen again quality lines. The thing is, someone was explaining this album to me... "lucy at the gym" sounded lame and "mary kay" sounded just... well... awkward... but, then I heard the songs and... wow... "Lucy" is one of the most compelling character studies I've ever heard. The sinister twist at the end, where she goes to heaven and G-d say's "here's the gym"... wow, just a knockout. Goosebumps everytime. And "Mary Kay", well, it ranks right up there with Freedy Johnston's "Dolores" (apologies to Nabokov) as far as odes to pedophilia go... Seriously, it makes you care about an unsympathetic character, and that's a tough job.

Not a weak song on the record... personally, I can't stop listening. I never knew Jill could become such a complete artist. Of course, with the major label deal gone, and corporate scumbags ruining pop music, she'll never make a dime for all the genius, but some of us care. Thanks Jill. Thanks for still trying.

Pink Pearl Poster

2004 reissue of 2000 studio album from Jill Sobule, a feisty post-punk feminist whose work brings to mind a cross between Liz Phair & Gertrude Stein. New pink artwork too! 12 tracks. Universal.
Like Aimee Mann, Jill Sobule had a hit early (1995's "I Kissed a Girl") and then was dropped by her major label. Now that the dust has settled, one can only hope that, like Mann, Sobule will reap the artistic and commercial recognition she deserves. Though no slouch in the melody department, Sobule really shines as a deft lyricist. On songs that act as many self-contained vignettes, she captures life's little miseries and epiphanies with economy and understated humor. Though she isn't afraid to tackle wide topics ("Heroes" reveals our icons' feet of clay with lines such as "Heard Babe Ruth was full of malice / Lewis Carroll I'm sure did Alice"), Sobule's specialty is to focus on individuals in a way that's both sharp-witted and compassionate. In the end, Pink Pearl's greatest accomplishment is showing that there are as many good song subjects as there are people around us--you only need to pay attention. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
