After a period of disillusionment with her musical world and a tightrope walk over pits of self-doubt, <a href="spotify:artist:4jDIUPrprkHcgQrKhrFZfF" data-name="Emilia Donovan">Emilia Donovan</a> set out to recapture her creative spark. In March 2020, faced with the harsh and isolating reality of a pandemic and a world in disarray, and not knowing when she would get to return to her home state of New Jersey and loved ones there, she turned to songwriting for comfort. Imagining up an idealized version of her childhood in rural-suburbia and at the Jersey shore, she used it as the setting for new stories. The resulting EP <a href="spotify:album:6PsNRkHZyakdLuF4PYsyB4" data-name="Postcards">Postcards</a> can be heard as a series of vignettes, like letters or diary entries written over the course of a woman’s life, depicting the magic of summertime and reunions and separations that come with the season, mixed up with the bittersweet realizations that come with growing older. Even musically steeped in nostalgia, the historic influence of the Jersey soul-rock sound (<a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT" data-name="Bruce Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> is her greatest influence) blending with nearby New York City’s Brill Building wall-of-sound pop is evident on the EP (echoes of <a href="spotify:artist:6QDWC6QeGhvCWCv3nUJwoV" data-name="Laura Nyro">Laura Nyro</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:319yZVtYM9MBGqmSQnMyY6" data-name="Carole King">Carole King</a>) and is met by the musical heritage of Emilia’s adopted home of Los Angeles, from which she pulls vintage California doo-wop <a href="spotify:artist:3oDbviiivRWhXwIE8hxkVV" data-name="The Beach Boys">The Beach Boys</a>' vocals and the energetic presence of 1960s youth culture. Written and recorded entirely on her own, Postcards came about as a homespun musical craft project created with the same naivete and self-awareness apparent in its lyrical content.
