I'm not 100% up on the plotline of the Janelle Monae Metropolis universe, but is that the first cover in this thread that actually literally features the artist hanging out with her clones? (OK, fellow identical androids I think, but the closest we've come?)

Given that this album has a song called "Never Let Me Go", I'd venture to guess these are meant to be clones.
