Jeff Logan Channels Four Generations of Domestic Violence Into Powerful New Album “Ghost Protocol”

For singer-songwriter Jeff Logan, the subject of domestic violence is deeply personal. When he discovered that his daughter had been abused for the third time by her partner, Logan faced a breaking point. He could either take matters into his own hands with irreversible consequences—or channel his rage into something constructive. Choosing the latter, the veteran correctional officer and musician poured his emotions into his studio, writing, producing, arranging, and recording sixteen raw, unflinching R&B and hip-hop tracks in just eight days.

The result is “Ghost Protocol,” an album that shines a spotlight on the generational cycles of abuse that have scarred Logan’s family for decades. The project will be released October 3 on Fire & Ice Entertainment Network, aligning with Domestic Violence Awareness Month.A Family Legacy of Pain—and Resilience

Domestic violence is not new to Logan. His paternal grandmother, mother, himself, and now his daughter have all been victims. This painful family history gave Logan both urgency and perspective in creating “Ghost Protocol.”

“I consciously tried to enter into an alter ego state of mind for each perspective as I attempted to channel my angst about what happened to my daughter, my mother, me when I was a child, my paternal grandmother, and a host of women who have, over the years, confided in me about their experiences,” Logan explained. “Domestic violence does not discriminate. It is pervasive, devastating, and too often lethal. My purpose with this album is to do something about it.”

Each track on “Ghost Protocol” is written from a different vantage point: the victim, the abuser, the abuser’s mother, and the victim’s family. Logan’s 35 years of experience working in corrections add authenticity to his narratives, grounding the songs in unvarnished truth.

The soundscape is as varied as the stories: neo-soul ballads, hip-hop anthems, R&B grooves, and gospel-like confessionals.

Highlights include:

• “Misery Loves Company” – A bluesy ballad about realizing you’re trapped in a toxic, abusive relationship.

• “Daddy’s PSA” – Logan’s visceral outburst after seeing the physical damage inflicted on his daughter.

• “I Don’t Know Why” – From the abuser’s perspective, questioning their own violent impulses.

• “Ghost Protocol” (title track) – A chilling warning from a victim who speaks from beyond the grave.

• “2-Minute Reflections” – Family members mourning at a victim’s funeral, recalling their unanswered pleas for her to leave.

• “Flame” – A heartbreaking song from a child’s perspective, dealing with the loss of a parent to domestic violence.

• “M.O.S. (Mother of Suspect)” – A mother’s lament as her son is charged with abuse.

• “P.R.T. (Preach, Reach, Teach)” – A call to mentor young men before they repeat cycles of violence.

• “Penal Purgatory” – The closing track, offering a chilling inner monologue from an incarcerated abuser, reflecting on life behind bars.

Logan doesn’t shy away from graphic storytelling. Instead, he uses his platform to confront hard truths about abuse, justice, and healing. “Ghost Protocol” is meant to be more than an album—it’s a cautionary tale.

“My overarching desire is for it to strongly encourage victims and victimizers to seek immediate help,” Logan said.

A multi-instrumentalist with a gift for melody, Jeff Logan first made waves with his 2011 debut Black Tie Affair. Last year, he teamed with two-time GRAMMY® winner Paul Brown for Indigo, a smooth R&B-jazz set. His recent single Fire and Ice has enjoyed worldwide radio play. With Ghost Protocol, Logan ventures into R&B and hip-hop storytelling for the first time, proving his versatility and depth as a creator.

Looking ahead, Logan plans to release his next urban-jazz instrumental project, “Obsidian,” in early 2026. But for now, his mission is clear: to use music as a force for awareness, healing, and change.
