Sherry Jacoby Celebrates Enduring Love in “Constellation”
Newmarket-based indie pop/folk artist Sherry Jacoby has released her latest single, “Constellation”, an ode to enduring love.
Sherry began writing “Constellation” in 2019 while performing aboard a cross-country VIA Rail journey from Toronto to Vancouver as part of the Artist on Board program. “It was an inspiring time in my life,” she says. “There were breathtaking views on the train, especially as we passed by the Rocky Mountains. I was also at the start of a new relationship, and my intuition knew that it was going to last.”
With lush acoustic arrangements and Jacoby’s ethereal vocals, the track transports listeners to that same feeling of awe and possibility. “During that train ride, I felt so connected to nature, and those feelings were intertwined with the excitement I felt about the potential of an everlasting love,” she explains.
Blending romantic lyricism and indie pop hooks, “Constellation” draws inspiration from artists such as Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, and Colbie Caillat. The track was produced by Austin-based Shannon McArthur (Dashboard Confessional), marking their third collaboration.
“I bring him my songs as sketches, just vocals and acoustic guitar, and he fills in the outline with the colours the song calls for, like an ethereal electric guitar riff,” says Jacoby.
Now engaged to the person who inspired “Constellation”, Sherry is excited to perform the song at her wedding this fall. Since relocating from Toronto to Newmarket, she has also been connecting with her new local music community and booking performances throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Review
Sherry Jacoby’s “Constellation” feels like stepping into a love story written in the stars. The song moves from quiet longing into a soaring declaration of devotion, carried by lyrics that glow with tenderness and hope.
Lines like “Our love’s a dive into the stars, I fell into a constellation of your name” perfectly capture that dizzy, magical feeling of finding someone who changes everything. The repetition of the chorus only makes it hit harder, building this sense of timelessness and commitment.
What stands out most is how personal it feels—like Jacoby is letting listeners in on a secret piece of her heart, while still giving us something universal to hold onto. It’s romantic, uplifting, and unforgettable.
