His latest single, &#8216;Great Things&#8217;, draws from RnB, classic pop, and of course, fiery gospel, and his verses of devotion and praise are sung with a voice which carries in itself the courage of his convictions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Great Things&#8217; is effectively the follow up from Rick Dorn&#8217;s first single, &#8216;A Merry Christmas&#8217;, which hit the ground running when it was featured in the 2019 Netflix film, &#8216;Holiday Rush&#8217;, and saw Dorn&#8217;s name alongside many popular contemporary artists such as John Legend, Ne-Yo, Darlene Love, and many others. Although Rick has been involved in music for many years as a producer, arranger, and studio operator and owner, and he&#8217;s led worship services for thousands over time, &#8216;Great Things&#8217; is effectively Rick&#8217;s real introduction as a solo artist, and should certainly see his name raised up alongside the best in Gospel music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;Great Things&#8217; sees Dorn in concert, where he&#8217;s performing in front of a crowd expecting an everyday hip hop show. Dorn however has other things in mind, and over the smooth track he testifies to the life changing power of God, who is able to work wonders in the life of anyone, no matter who or where you might happen to be. He&#8217;s won the sceptics over by the start of the second verse, and his message of love and positivity reaches deep down into the hearts of those who are troubled&#8230;in other words, all of us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Rick Dorn and his music online on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.RickDorn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_31148\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RNFjo6ve6xY?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/RNFjo6ve6xY\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rick Dorn sees himself as the bearer of good news, and with his music he lifts spirits with a message that&#8217;s been doing the same for over two thousand years.
