...layer after layer of subcontractors, while Cruella, leading her own army of death-dealing action figures, pursues them. Jack Nicholson in his Joker outfit shows up somewhere along the way as, say, a Hong Kong-based export-import whiz, and at one point Jack and Cruella break into a duet: "Tiny wages for tiny people/ That's the way it goes/ They're lucky to have work/ As everybody knows/ You don't need money anyway, if you're only eight...

He addresses domestic abuse on the new album's How Come, How Long, a duet with Stevie Wonder. Says Edmonds: "I never thought I had a voice that could command respect on other issues." Could it be? The man they call Babyface is outgrowing his nickname...
