Jelly Roll Wears Helmet to Tease ‘Holy Water’ Collab With Marshmello

Jelly Roll‘s eclectic list of collaborators stretches from Jessie Murph and Lainey Wilson to Kelly Clarkson, Post Malone, Lil Wyte, Shaboozey, K. Michelle and the Fisk Jubilee Singers, Cody Johnson and Yelawolf, among many others.

But his upcoming collab will take the “Son of a Sinner” singer a bit further out of his zone when he drops the beat-infused track “Holy Water” with dance music producer Marshmello on Friday (Aug. 8).

The dynamic duo both slipped into one of Marshmello’s signature white helmets on Tuesday (Aug. 5) for a brief preview video for the song. “Still slowly feel what you feel/ Two tears for the soul departed/ Pour out a little holy water,” Jelly sings over a mid-tempo beat in the clip in which he has to make his hands do the talking since we can’t see his typically expressive face.

Last week, Marshmello got the hype machine rolling on the project some fans are referring to as “MarshJello” or JellyMello” with a private jet pic of himself in his ‘Mello head holding an extra one featuring some of Jelly’s signature face tats on his lap. He followed that up with another preview video of the song in which only he is wearing the helmet and Jelly jams out next to him in the studio with the caption “We knew this one was special from the jump.”

Jelly seconded that emotion in a comment, writing, “Absolutely honored brother.” This marks ‘Mello’s latest foray into country, coming on the heels of two collabs with Kane Brown on “One Right Thing” and the Billboard Hot 100 No. 15 hit “Miles On It.”
