BlackBook Magazine premiered the track, praising Kibby's "signature piercing vocals over urgent, organic production."
Kibby said, "This is probably my most raw. I really let it all hang out lyrically in a way that leaves me utterly exposed - but I'm proud of that. My favorite songs are those that expose a writer's vulnerability, and so I went for it with this one.""Gangster No. 1" is preceded by singles "Stay Young, Get Stoned" and "Never a Woman." The song is available now via iTunes, Spotify and other digital services.
