Jamie Shew’s latest single, “Letters From You,” is a heartfelt song that pays tribute to her grandmother and explores deep feelings of love and longing. The song tells a touching story about the connections between generations, highlighting the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed.
“Letters From You” invites listeners to reflect on memories that hold special meaning. It touches on everyday moments such as stacks of toilet paper, sales at Kmart, and late-night TV shows that symbolize a grandmother’s life filled with love but also isolation. Shew captures specific memories and universal themes through her lyrics, creating a vivid picture of her grandmother’s enduring spirit.
The song contrasts Shew’s life with that of her grandmother.

“Letters From You” is raw and deeply moving, serving not just as a tribute but as a celebration of family strength and the lasting impact of those who came before us.
