Sobule died early Thursday morning in a house fire, according to a statement from her publicity firm.
The Denver-born singer's song "I Kissed a Girl," off of her 1995 self-titled album, became the first openly LGBTQ-themed song to chart on the Billboard Top 20.
She is perhaps best known for her single "Supermodel," also off her self-titled album, which was her second. "Supermodel" was prominently featured in the popular 1995 movie "Clueless," helping Sobule break through to the mainstream.
Sobule's PR firm's statement said there will be a formal memorial celebrating the singer's life and legacy later this year.
Sobule is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, her nephews, cousins and friends.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
