Some songs hit you like a punch to the chest, they’re so real, so raw, they leave you breathless. That’s precisely what happens when Jelly Roll teams up with Marshmello for “Holy Water,” then hits even harder with his solo track “Need a Favor.” These aren’t just songs, they’re confessions, prayers and stories of struggle that’ll make your heart race and your eyes sting.
“Holy Water” is Jelly Roll and Marshmello’s emotional collab about loss and healing. Marshmello swaps his usual electronic beats for haunting guitar riffs, while Jelly Roll’s gravelly voice pours out pain like whiskey from a broken bottle. The lyrics talk about tears for the brokenhearted and pouring out holy water, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to hug someone tight and never let go.
