YouTube Music is testing a fresh look with sprawling album art headers
If you like album art, you'll like the new album and playlist pages.
YouTube Music is currently piloting a redesigned interface featuring expansive album artwork headers, replacing the previous boxed-in headers. The new design showcases the album cover occupying the top third of the display, similar to the format employed on artist pages. This visual overhaul is complemented by a modified action bar, which now includes a split row of circular quick-action buttons for offline playback, library bookmarks, a prominent play button, and a dedicated shuffle option.
The update is believed to be the result of a server-side A/B test, with the aim of improving the user experience before a potentially wider rollout. This latest visual refresh follows other recent changes, such as the Now Playing redesign and the introduction of full-screen album art, indicating Google's ongoing efforts to enhance the overall aesthetic of YouTube Music.
