Describe the Bug

When manually selecting a song to play, Immersive background just fades to a dark black screen.
However, if you change the song via forward / backward keys, it will correctly adjust the background.

Steps to Reproduce

Play a song by selecting it from a playlist, song library, etc.
Immersive background will fade to a dark black view and fail to render correctly.
Change the song via media keys or the forward / backward interface items and Immersive background will correctly adjust to the proper view.

Anything else?
