Who I Am (Amy Pearson album)

Who I Am is the first album by singer Amy Pearson released by Sony BMG in Australia on 19 April 2008 (see 2008 in music). Although the album was planned for release in November 2007, it had been pushed back[1] due to the releases of Delta Goodrem's and Kylie Minogue's albums during the same time. However the album was released in China around the original release date. It has so far released 3 singles in Australia without the help of the album release, "Don't Miss You", "Not Me" and "Ready to Fly". All three have received moderate airtime on Australian mainstream radio stations.

gollark: Well, sure, but this saves you from having to actually define the arity on every function manually.
gollark: Though you could *also* just do that wherever you actually need that arity value.
gollark: Sure, I guess.
gollark: Also, you can get a function's arity in Python with`function.__code__.co_argcount`, though that is probably non-idiomatic.
