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. [2] 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.
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, [3] Leith released his sixth album in six years, called Now & Then. [4]
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. [5]
Now & Then debuted and peaked on the ARIA charts at number 12.
