I Don't Know What You Expecting From Me, But Get Ready
“Hold It Steady” is a modern R&B intimacy record about control, reassurance, and the slow-burn power of being fully present. Blane isn’t just talking sex—he’s talking rhythm and trust: “hold it steady” as a physical command and an emotional promise. The song lives in that space between temptation + devotion, distance + desire, and confidence + vulnerability—where pleasure becomes the proof that the connection is real and still locked in.

Hold It Steady
“Hold It Steady” finds Alexander Blane in his grown-man bag—calm, commanding, and intentional. He starts from a place of uncertainty (“Can’t make my mind up…”) but the moment intimacy enters, everything snaps into focus. Blane speaks to a woman who wants him now, even when he’s away—painting late-night scenes, bath-tub fantasies, and the urgency of holding her over until he gets there. With lines that mix desire with provider energy (Cartagena across the water, “a couple thousand… a day’s work”), Blane turns seduction into a promise: you’re safe with me, you’re satisfied with me, and I’m about to make sure you feel it. This is a record about anticipation, steady pressure, and the kind of pleasure that doesn’t rush—it builds.
