Milos plays The Beatles
Given the ubiquity of The Beatles in popular music, you might think an artist would steer well clear of covering any of their songs.
That's not to take anything away from the biggest band of all time, but the unique stamp they put on every one of their songs makes it hard, when listening to a reimagined version, to think of anything but the usually superior original.
Milos Karadaglic, then, will have to forgive the fact more than a few eyebrows were raised when he announced he was releasing a whole album of Beatles covers.
"I understand any surprise, but I see music as one whole thing - music is music - and I'm not bound by the boundaries of genre," says the 32-year-old. "The Beatles were a perfect subject to take. This is music that has stood the test of time, similar to classical music in that it's been there for as long as we can remember, and its impact is the same as the first time it was played. I've taken something timeless, and brought it into my world, this is why it works."
Milos - like all the best musicians, he only needs to go by his first name - is a classical guitar player, arguably the world's best, born in what's now Montenegro in the former Yugoslavia.
