RRI.CO.ID, Depok - Indonesian creative talent has once again proven its mettle on the global stage. A local illustration studio from Depok, West Java, was handpicked to shape the visual universe for pop superstar Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated comeback single, Hate That I Made You Love Me.

Rising67 Studio was entrusted with designing the official poster and promotional artwork for the track, anchoring the visual identity of the global release. The studio took to social media to share their gratitude for the opportunity, reflecting on the deeper creative responsibility of the project.

"For me, this project feels very special. It's not just about creating artwork or title treatments, but contributing to building the visual world that surrounds a song," the studio shared via their official instagram account, @rising67.studio, as quoted by the Depok Regency Administration official website on Wednesday, June 3, 2026.

The studio explained that their role went far beyond basic illustration. Their mission was to construct a cohesive visual identity that amplified the narrative and emotional atmosphere of Ariana Grande's new music.

For the founder of Rising67 Studio, the milestone carries deep personal significance, bridging a lifelong passion with a monumental career achievement.

The creative direction for the poster drew heavy inspiration from the legendary Michael Jackson, whom the founder credits for pioneering the seamless integration of music, striking imagery, and cinematic storytelling.

“He [Michael Jackson] showed how a song could influence the world through imagery, visuals, and short films. It is something that continues to influence music videos today,” noted Rising67 Studio, highlighting how Jackson's legacy continues to shape contemporary music videos.

While the poster art leans into this narrative-driven, iconic style, the single's accompanying music video, directed by Christian Breslauer, takes on a distinct horror-infused aesthetic.

Rising67 Studio described the high-profile collaboration as one of their most valuable achievements to date. Beyond being a milestone for the studio itself, the partnership serves as a powerful testament to the growing international trust in Indonesia's creative industry, proving that homegrown talent can seamlessly deliver at the highest echelons of global entertainment. ***
