Factually, it will be very hard to differentiate all of them in one song, if eventually all of them featured in a song, they basically have same voice textures even though their pen game would set the differences.
Also, in a different angle, Ayra Starr is essentially the Tems who ‘transformed.’ Now that we have your attention, let us clarify; Ayra Starr isn’t a carbon copy of Tems, but she does sound like Tems when she flexes her octaves to accent the final syllable on words, sentences, and cadences.

On the Fave part, when she first released ‘Baby Riddim’ some people thinks it was Tems singing, until they checked, the texture of the voice was very similar to each other, its very normal, people have various similarities.
In summary, there’s no single one of them copying each other, they all have different style in their craft and knows perfectly know how to make it work, if Fave was first to debut, it will still look like the other two are copying her.
So, having same similarities in voice texture doesn’t mean anyone is copying each other.
