Does Hayley sound different to anyone else? I'm not sure if it's just more heavily processed than Paramore's vocals usually are to fit in with Chvrches' style, but it sounds off to me. I don't think that Hayley's vocals made this song better in the same way that Vicious Love did. That being said, I always love hearing Hayley's voice. Based on the pictures they've been posting recently, hopefully we'll hear some new Paramore tunes before the end of the year
She's singing in a slightly different register than she normally does-- Lauren's range is more of a traditional soprano and Hayley is clearly trying to mimick that. I'm not picking up a more processing than is normal for studio versions of a song. If you listen to the live video from Parahoy, she sounds pretty much the same as she does there.
