“’Coming Closer’ dazzles with its retro-ambience, persuasive rhythmic flow and the lush voice of Sallie-Anne Hurst. Hurst’s voice is scrumptious, full of radiant tones and sumptuous inflections. There’s a subterranean sensuality to her voice that’s tumescent and alluring.”

Ba2ta (pronounced Battuta) comprise Sallie-Anne Hurst and @RalphClayton. 
They originate from South East London and come from diverse musical backgrounds.

Ba2ta  were officially named on 30th September 2018 at Soft Cell’s supposedly final concert at the 02 in Greenwich. They released their first songs, ‘Changing Scenes’ and 'Just One Moment', in December 2018.

Their 2nd release ‘Coming Closer’ was reviewed in Rawckus Magazine by Randy Radic on 17th April 2019:
“’Coming Closer’ dazzles with its retro-ambience, persuasive rhythmic flow and the lush voice of Sallie-Anne Hurst. Hurst’s voice is scrumptious, full of radiant tones and sumptuous inflections. There’s a subterranean sensuality to her voice that’s tumescent and alluring.”

Sallie-Anne Hurst is lead vocalist in the KT Bush Band.
