Ideal is an American R&B quartet from Houston, Texas. The group's members are PZ, Swab, J-Dante, and Maverick.
Their self-titled debut album was released by Virgin Records on August 24, 1999. The album sold 615,000 units in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan[1], and was certified Gold by the RIAA[2]. All Music Guide's Heather Phares called Ideal's initial effort a "heartfelt first album" which showcased the "group's smooth, sensuous vocal styling and romantic songwriting[3]. They are most well known for their hit R&B songs, "Get Gone" (R&B #2, Pop #13) and "Whatever" (R&B #11, Pop #47).
It was reported in 2004 that the group had wrapped up production on a new album, From Now On[1], but it has never been released.
