Now & Then (Damien Leith album)

Now & Then is the fifth studio album (sixth overall) by Australian Idol 2006 winner Damien Leith. It was released by Sony Music Australia in Australia on 20 April 2012. It was the last album of Leith's released by Sony until the release of Songs From Ireland (2015). The album spawned two singles and a tour.

Background
Following a successful 2011 where Leith's Roy: A Tribute To Roy Orbison album climbed to #2 on the ARIA album charts, had a national sell out tour, was a finalist on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and hosted his own TV program, Leith released his sixth album in six years, called Now & Then.

The “now” in Now & Then represents a selection of Damien's self-penned songs. The collection includes a version of fan-favourite “Beautiful”, which is already being heard around the world as the theme song for the new global campaign by perfume giant Estée Lauder. And "then" in Now & Then sees Damien pick up where the Roy project left off, further celebrating and honouring the music of Roy Orbison, this time alongside the Traveling Wilburys.
