“Creator” is the debut single by American artist Santogold, and along with “L.E.S. Artistes”, the first to be taken from her self-titled debut Santogold. It is written by Daryn McFayden, Santi White and David Taylor. The song features Santi singjaying.

“Creator” was released as a limited edition 12” vinyl in late 2007 and January 2008, with “L.E.S. Artistes” as it’s b-side. It was later released on the US iTunes Store on March 25, 2008. The song featured in an advert for Alberto Vo5 hair products in the UK throughout spring 2008. It has also been played in the Bud Light: Lime advert, which premiered in May 2008. The song was also featured in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy and the final episode of Entourage season 4.

The song has received comparisons to material by M.I.A… In September 2008, it featured in an episode of Gossip Girl. Alex Denney of Drowned in Sound called the song’s introduction “an audacious way of introducing yourself to the world; with one of the most irritating vocals ever committed to tape.” Denney goes on to say that “Creator” sounds “like giant robots crushing epic landscapes underfoot, a thuddingly neo-tribal and achingly, even clownishly modern floor.” At the end of the review, the “Creator/L.E.S. Artistes” EP was rated seven out of ten. Todd Martens of the Los Angeles Times described the song as “an urban safari of warped electronic noises.”
