It sounds like maybe what you want is a skin with a music viewtype that shows "multilist" for the "artist" library node.  That way when you focus on an artist (no need to "click") that artist's albums (that exist in the library) are shown in a second list.  Take a look at Estuary MODv2.  In that implementation, when you click on one of the albums, it uses an addon to add the entire album's songs to the music now-playing list.

If instead you need artist bio, born/died, etc that might need more skin code.
