Most blues lyrics can be understood as autobiographical, describing real-life experiences of the singer, often focusing on love, hardships, or injustice. The aim of this study was to investigate the construction of identity and femininity as well as the male object through self-narratives in lyrics. To this end, 30 lyrics of blues songs in English by female singers from three different decades (the 1920s, 1960s, and 2000s) have been investigated. The lyrics of the songs were analyzed through Critical Discourse Analysis, based on a three-dimensional framework suggested by Fairclough (1992). The findings show that the female singers tend to frame themselves in relation to the status of their relationship, and that themes such as Empowerment, Sexuality, and Loss of love are the key ones in the corpus. The analysis examined the power relations between the singer and the male object, and revealed that the singer is often represented as highly dependent on her partner.
