Briefly

Apple Music's recent features, including full-screen animated album art and lyrics translation, indicate a subtle but significant trend away from the appreciation of traditional album art.

As streaming services like Spotify prioritize dynamic content, the emotional impact of album art diminishes, posing a challenge for music lovers who value the artistic expression found in static designs.

Going from a static cover to an animated one seems modern, but it misses the depth and emotional connection that static art often provides.
