Before we begin, it’s important to understand that the artist art on Groove Music isn’t the same as Album Art. Artist Art is the series of pictures of different musicians, the songs of whom you’re listening to. You can view the running artist art of your Groove App from the Albums tabs. So, as you move from one song to another, the Artist Art will change too.
