Feature

31 Mar

Some emotions are too deep for words—so James Shumway lets the piano speak. His latest release, “To the One I Love,” is a deeply personal love letter translated into melody.

Filmed against the breathtaking backdrop of Aspen Grove, Utah, with the towering Mount Timpanogos in the distance, the music video perfectly complements the soul-stirring beauty of the piece. The visuals, captured by Nick Sales (known for his work with The Piano Guys), mirror the heartfelt emotion woven into every note.

This piano solo follows in the footsteps of Shumway’s previous releases: “IOU” – a euphoric tribute to the thrill of love and finding a soulmate, and “Regrets” – a haunting portrayal of heartache and the weight of the past.

With “To the One I Love,” Shumway brings a new dimension to his storytelling—a melody that captures devotion, longing, and the quiet power of love.

Shumway has been immersed in music since childhood, beginning his classical piano training at age six and composing his own pieces by age nine. His style often draws comparisons to Rachmaninoff and the great Romantic-era composers, blending technical brilliance with raw emotional depth.

Whether you’ve experienced the joy of true love or the bittersweet ache of longing, “To the One I Love” is a piece that speaks directly to the soul. Shumway’s piano doesn’t just play notes—it tells a story, one that lingers long after the final chord fades.

For lovers of romantic piano music, this is a must-listen. And for anyone who’s ever struggled to put love into words—this composition might just say it all.
