BUG: Tapping artist name/avatar sends you to search results rather than the artist profile

[jamiegaehring]

When viewing an album and you tap on the artist name (either at the top of the screen above the tracklist or at the bottom below the tracklist), it no longer sends you directly to the artist profile like it used to. Instead you're sent to a search results screen for the artist's name then tapping their name does send you to the profile. When an album has multiple artists, or when you tap the kebab menu on a track > View Artist, it's the same behavior: you're sent to search results instead of the profile.

As of my latest update on July 22 via Play Store (version 9.0.64.608), I haven't experienced this bug any further.
