Does anybody know the name of this effect used in some songs?

And in the background a pad is being played on a synthesizer separately. It isn't one single effect. The vocals just have a long delay on them. Probably using a couple different delay instances set at different durations and timing.

The music itself, style-wise, is noted as Chillout on the vid's info. Seems about right.

Also, something that gives the spatial sensation here is the excess of reverb with long decay. 4 seconds or more.

Probably. It would have to be set with a narrow low-pass filter or something though, or possibly reverbed via send and the send channel EQ'd and leveled separate from the main vocal and then compressed.
If you just throw fully wet reverb on a vocal and set the decay that long, it'd sound like it was being sung in a cave.

I've gotten vocals to sound the way the girl in the clip sounds, but I'm sure there are other methods than my own.
