As reference I would use the HIG about images https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Layout/Image "Use a semi-transparent background behind the (was: caption text) controls to preserve contrast for legibility." Perhaps you can adjust dark/bright according the system theme.

yeah, would be better a semi transparent background under title and buttons over the solid cover art rather than the gradient
