English term or phrase: To cut to the bone

Der vollständige Satz lautet: Few voices have the power to cut to the bone.

Dieser Satz ist aus einer Künstlerbiografie.
"To cut to the bone" habe ich bisher nur im Zusammenhang mit Preisen gehört -->price cut to the bone = Schleuderpreis.
Bedeutet es in diesem Zusammenhang sinngemäß soviel wie "unter die Haut gehen"?

Für Anregungen und Hilfestellungen wäre ich sehr dankbar.

Besten Dank im Voraus.

German translation:im Innersten berühren

Explanation:
Ich würde mich hier von der Knochen/Mark-Metapher, die im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch allzu oft negativ konnotiert ist, lösen.
Rhythmen und Sounds mögen einem in die Knochen fahren, aber die Schönheit einer Stimme/eines Gesangs berührt die Seele/lässt einen erschauern.
