Woman In Love

The song "Woman In Love" by Great King Rat from their self-titled album Great King Rat is a soulful, riff-driven rock ballad that captures the Zoo Crew’s love for classic vibes, making it a hit with their Zoo Freaks listeners. In a Instagram post, the band shared that the track was one of the first they wrote together, inspired by late-night jam sessions fueled by whiskey and old vinyl records. A fan on X described it as “a love song with teeth,” praising its blend of tender lyrics and gritty guitar solos. While specific interviews about the song are limited, frontman Jake Ellison mentioned in a local Swedish radio segment that “Woman In Love” draws from personal heartbreak, giving it an emotional edge that resonates live. Released in 2022, the album’s lo-fi production amplifies the song’s raw, 70s-inspired feel, making it a standout for fans.

Great King Rat formed in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2018, driven by a shared passion for classic rock among vocalist Jake Ellison, guitarist Sven Lund, bassist Nils Berg, and drummer Erik Voss. According to their website, the band started when the four met at a local bar’s open mic night, bonding over their love for bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Bad Company. Initially playing covers, they soon began writing originals in a small, grungy rehearsal space, aiming to revive the unpolished energy of 70s rock with a modern twist. Their name, inspired by a Queen track, reflects their bold, rebellious spirit. After building a local following through relentless gigging, they recorded their debut album, Great King Rat, which earned praise for its authentic sound, with “Woman In Love” showcasing their knack for emotive storytelling.
