What are RAYE's This Music May Contain Hope vinyl variants?

For the time being, RAYE has put one This Music May Contain Hope double vinyl up for preorder in bright yellow. The official description on her website states: "The album, set in 4 “seasons” with each side of the vinyl being a different season, takes listeners on a sonic journey that begins with darkness and ends with light."

There's also a new RAYE quote that says: “Music is medicine. I’ve always said that, and I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world. I want us all to say to ourselves that it’s going to be all right, and I’m going to have faith in the seeds that I’ve planted beneath the snow."

She adds: "I wanted to create something that is a hug or bed or soft place for that person who needs it.”

As well as vinyl, you can preorder the project on CD and digitally.
