Signing with Elektra in the early/mid-1980s, Starpoint veered more toward the pop side of R&B, while still maintaining the funk elements that originally characterized their sound. Their 1985 LP Restless yielded their sole top 40 pop single, "Object of My Desire," and the R&B/Urban singles "Restless" and "What You've Been Missin'." The non-single tracks (as always) were just as strong, with "Emotions" and "One more Night" being the standouts, in addition to a song that had a lot of pop potential, "See the Light".
