"Holy Water" is a song recorded by Swedish duo Galantis,[1] incorporating uncredited vocals provided by British singer, songwriter and record producer Cathy Dennis.[2] It was released on 27 September 2019, through Atlantic and Big Beat Records.
Rachel Narozniak from Dancing Astronaut remarked the presence of "original lyrical concept", however with Galantis usual construction, similar to their past tracks such as "No Money" and "Runaway (U & I)". She also noted that the song is endowed with "driven chords that ascend in upbeat fashion in line with the cut's vocal, inescapably catchy vocal hooks, and buoyant breakdowns with deliberate dance floor appeal".[3] Sarah Kocur from EDM.com called the song an "anthemic, effortlessly distorted single" which "gives listeners the last bit of summer energy as the season ends".[4] Writing for Partyscene, Ivo Mollemans noted that it has "typical dance and pop elements" that the listeners are used to hear with Galantis. He indicated that the presence of "chords and vocals form the intro of the song and that immediately sets the tone for the rest of it" and really releases energy. According to him, the drop is "characterized by vocal chops that are still supported by chords and dance synths".[5]
