MURRIETA – The Girls Against Abuse and their platinum-selling record producer announce the anticipated arrival of their Volume 6 full-length album dropping January 1, 2026, with the album distributed globally across all major streaming platforms. Fourteen artists from eight states and four countries have collaborated to eagerly encourage, empathize, empower, and inspire their generation by engaging a new audience with edgy heartfelt songs that confront the unique challenges faced by today’s youth.

Recognize Resist & Recover is the mantra of this Murrieta-based music charity who has been at the forefront of the national dialogue of the prevention and intolerance of abuse towards women and youth since 2009. Their founder and multi-award winning producer, Jason Brawner states, “By creating an acute sensitivity in young people to the first signs of disrespect that quickens to duress, we hope to stop abuse for generations to come.”

Jordan Blair, who is a featured artist on albums 5 and 6 and the upcoming volume 7, said, “Our album embraces vulnerability and encourages people to hold grace for themselves, even in their darkest times. In a fast-paced world, our album gives us all a much-needed reminder to slow down, take a breath, and reconnect with our truths.”

Each of the six Girls Against Abuse albums features a different assemblage of female artists who have made commitments in their own lives to stand against disrespect and mistreatment. Each of these role model artists has donated a song from their own upcoming album that they are writing with Jason. Volume 6 includes star artists from The Voice, AGT, and American Idol. Jason has been producing artists from all major singing shows since 2002. His various credits include Carrie Underwood, Beyoncé, Hilary Duff, Thompson Square, The Manhattans, and many more.

Erupting with personal experiences, modern themes, and salient melodies, The Girls Against Abuse are poised to be a voice for others around the world navigating today’s unique challenges socially, romantically, personally and economically. Board Member and President of 15 years Bonnie Terk, explains, “Our purpose is to: Raise awareness and education to the public on the issues of teen and domestic violence; To educate and inform through positive messages in music; To raise funds through musical performances and public events to be donated to shelters and organizations that provide services for those affected by abuse.”

Singer of the lead single ‘The Core’ Ryan Valenzuela says, “Our Vol. 6 album reminds every generation that we are all doing life together and that each of us has earned a place in this world.” Ryan’s pop/rock anthem, ‘The Core’ is available now on your favorite streaming platforms.
