No...it's the Autotune being used as an effect. It's a fringe benefit of the 
device. I used it on my own solo album last year. The producer was 
attempting to dial in the proper key for a song I was singing, he guessed 
wrong and it caused the same vocal effect that's popping up on all these 
records, since Cher started the wacky trend....however, I decided to not use 
it on vocals after all and we attached it to the bass guitar part 
instead....very bizarre, but effective if used sparingly.
